Who has dressed you in strange clothes of sand

Who has taken you far from my land

Who has said that my sayings were wrong

And who will say that I stayed much too long?



Clothes of sand have covered yor face

Given you meaning but taken my place

So make your way on down to the sea

Something has taken you so far from me.



Does it now seem worth all the colour of skies

To see the earth through painted eyes

To look through panes of shaded glass

See the stains of winter's grass.



Can you now return to from where you came

Try to burn your changing name

Or with silver spoons and coloured light

Will you worship moons in winter's night.



Clothes of sand have covered your face

Given you meaning but taken my place

So make your way on down to the sea

Something has taken you so far from me.
