Jethro Tull
- Summerday sands lyrics

I once met a girl with the life in her hands
and we lay together on the summerday sands.
I gave her my raincoat and told her, ''Lady, be good! ''
And we made truth together, where no one else would.

I smiled through her fingers and ran the dust through her hands ---
the hour-glass of reason on the summerday sands.

We sat as the sea caught fire.
Waited as the flames grew higher
in her eyes.
We watched the eagle born ---
wings clipped, tail feathers shorn
but we saw him rise ---
over summerday sands.

Came the ten o'clock curfew.
She said, ''I must start my car.
I'm staying with someone I met last night in a bar. ''
I called from my wave top ---
''At least tell me your name! ''
She smiled from her wheelspin
and said, ''It's all the same. ''
I thought for a minute, jumped back on dry land ---
left one set of footprints on the summerday sands.

I once met a girl with the life in her hands
and we lied together on the summerday sands
