A Grain Of Sand lyrics

This night is long and dark, like the one before
I spend them both with eyes open, lying on the floor
A man - a being of water, but after crying dry
My head is like an hourglass with desert sand inside

Careful and quiet, a loving hand
Is placing beside you a grain of sand
Your happiest dream is for you to dwell
Goodnight, sweetheart. Sleep well

It's just a twist of fate, it's not for me to choose
And now I'm on the edge and sand may be of use
It's not about me, I hope you'll understand
Your head is full of water, my hand is full of sand

Careful and quiеt, a loving hand
Is placing beside you a grain of sand
Your happiest drеam is for you to dwell
Goodnight, sweetheart. Sleep well

Baby, baby, don’t you cry
Sand is falling from the sky
You need just a single grain
And the sky will pour down rain

Single grain and pain will end
I’m am here, I’m bleeding sand
I’ll close the door, I’ll kill the light
I am your sandman for the night
Careful and quiet, a loving hand
Is placing beside you a grain of sand
Your happiest dream is for you to dwell

Goodnight, sweetheart

Sleep well
