Ropes Of Sand
(by Coal & David Campbell Jr.)

Wish me well I’m on my way to drown myself in a wishing well
Why I do so, you want to know, to only you my friend I will tell
There was a long longing that started drawing lies upon my eyes
I saw a castle in the air that I could share with a beautiful bride
Each morning I rose with the sun, I knew someday she would come my way
I yearned until the moon came out which lined silver clouds where we would lay
When she appeared out of the rain she handed me a grain for us to grow
I felt the harvest time would yield a golden field but how was I to know

I was climbing up ropes of sand
Holding up hopes of sand
Crumbling in my hands
When this tearless world crash-lands
Last surviving lies will be revealed
What’s left is real
She filled me like a breath of spring but there’s one thing she could never be
A girl without a history who always smiles and never disagrees
So my friend we’ve reached the end to the bottom of the wishing well I’ll dive
I’ll drain the well or drown myself; I’ll pull the plug so love can be revived

I was climbing up ropes of sand
Holding up hopes of sand
Crumbling in my hands
When this tearless world crash-lands
Last surviving lies will be revealed
There’s something in my head I need to heal
