Dan Fogelberg - Sand And The Foam

Dawn like an angel lights on the step
Muting the morning she heralds
Dew on the grass like the tears the night wept
Gone long before the day wears old

Times stills the singing a child holds so dear
And I'm just beginning to hear
Gone are the pathways the child followed home
Gone like the sand and the foam

Pressed in the pages of some aging text
Lies an old lily crumbling
Marking a moment of childish respects
Long since betrayed and forgotten

Times stills the singing a child holds so dear
And I'm just beginning to hear
Gone are the pathways the child followed home
Gone like the sand and the foam

Dawn like an angel lights on the step
Muting the morning she heralds
Dew on the grass like the tears the night wept
Gone long before the day wears old

Times stills the singing a child holds so dear
And I'm just beginning to hear
Gone are the pathways the child followed home
Gone like the sand and the foam

Gone like the sand (gone like the sand)
Gone like the sand and the foam
