Chalk up another bridge That I've burnt Before I crossed I'd like another chance To win back Whatever I lost What did I say? What did I say? To push you away What can I do? What can I do? To be for you, the hero of your day Sand through my fingers Always returns to the waves Love runs like water You keep slipping away Another dance, one More advance And you escape my kiss But you must understand A mortal man can be nothing When his love is missed Here you are before me Like a brick wall, beautiful and tall I try to get through But I don't want to harm you Here I am like a tidal wave Or a ripple on the lake I try to seem strong But only time can charm you But sand through my fingers Always returns to the waves And love runs like water But you keep slipping away So I try To be the hero of your day Was I so blind? I let you slip away
