A thousand grains of sand <br />In time I’ll understand <br />The way I also sacrifice <br />Myself to be so nice <br /> <br />I listen to the waves crash <br />On me, girls never mash <br />I watch an orange flare <br />I’m left with my despair <br /> <br />By myself on a beach <br />With another girl out of reach <br />My heart bleeds to the moon <br />Someday, maybe one day, soon <br /> <br />I’ll find myself with another <br />My heart will beat with the other <br />We will lay in the sand <br />Our presence will be the demand <br /> <br />As the moon chases the sun <br />I mimic in my earthly run <br />The sun sets, the moon’s alone <br />Solitary in the sky, loneliness known <br /> <br />The beloved light reflected away <br />“Go man” is all I could say <br />As I gave my light away <br />Maybe another, another day <br /> <br />By myself on a beach <br />With another girl out of reach <br />My heart bleeds to the moon <br />Someday, maybe one day, soon <br /> <br />I’ll find myself with another <br />My heart will beat with the other <br />We will lay on the sand <br />Our presence will be the demand <br /> <br />Moon sets, black night sets in <br />My nightly demon’s torments begin <br />I sit on soft beach sand <br />Waiting for the day I’ll understand <br /> <br />By myself on a beach <br />With another girl out of reach <br />My heart bleeds to the moon <br />Someday, maybe one day, soon <br /> <br />I’ll find myself with another <br />My heart will beat with the other <br />We will lay in the sand <br />Our presence will be the demand<br /><br />Robert L.
