Jethro Tull Summerday Sands Lyrics

I once met a girl with the life in her hands
And we lay together on the summerday sands
I gave her my raincoat told her, ''Lady, be good!''
And we made truth together,
where no one else would

I smiled through her fingers
and ran the dust through her hands
the hour-glass of reason
on the summerday sands

We sat as the sea caught fire
Waited as the flames grew higher in her eyes
In her eyes We watched the eagle born
Wings clipped, tail feathers shorn
But we saw him rise over summerday sands

Came the ten o'clock curfew
She said, ''I must start my car I'm staying with someone
I met last night in a bar'' I called from my wave top
''At least tell me your name!''
She smiled from her wheelspin
and said, ''It's all the same.''
I thought for a minute,
jumped back on dry land ---
left one set of footprints
on the summerday sands.

I once met a girl
with the life in her hands
and we lied together
on the summerday sands
on the summerday sands
on the summerday sands
on the summerday sands
on the summerday sands.
