once in the sand, now in your hand
D
the diamonds we once held
between our teeth
C
have grown as cold
G D
as the stones on an alien beach
the awesome crushing power
of the frigid waves breaking down
accents the defiant shining
of the mineral that makes no sound
now it is laying exposed in sand
the sun found it hours ago
only to lose it in your 10 foot shadow
F
you've always been a finder
E
even longer a keeper
F
and the sun mourns the beauty
E F
once in the sand, now in your hand
F E
once in the sand, now in your hand
