Sand in My Shoes

My feet are bare, my hair blows wild

Leave me here, for I once was child in this place, in this place

And now it's hard to reconcile, for all these years

How I have held myself miles from your embrace, your embrace

I know I had to spread my wings to find my way

But I never dreamed they'd carry me so far

And when I made that choice, I felt like I'd escaped

But I always felt it pulling on my heart

And now the sand in my shoes reminds me of you

And I wish I was there, closer to you

With my daughter on the beach, and her bare little feet

And the wind in our wild, wild hair

Yeah, I always felt it pulling on my heart

The clock has stopped, the time has come, to find my place

‘Cause I've been running so long at this pace, at this pace

And now it's hard to carry on, when memories

Flood in fast as they run without a trace, without a trace

I know I had to spread my wings to find my way

But I never dreamed they'd carry me so far

And when I made that choice, I felt like I'd escaped

But I still feel it pulling on my heart

And now the sand in my shoes reminds me of you

And I wish I was there, closer to you

With my daughter on the beach, and her bare little feet

And the wind in our wild, wild hair

And now the sand in my shoes reminds me of you,

And I wish I was there, closer to you

With my daughter on the beach, and her bare little feet

And the wind in our wild, wild hair

Yeah, I always felt it pulling on my heart
