Intro:
I’ve been down on my life
for far too long.
Tossed in a river where
I never belonged.
A slip of the tongue
was the key to my fate.
Painted a picture I could
not erase.
Standin’ all alone on
this sandy shore.
Got nothin’ in my life
that’s good anymore.
My eyes start to wander.
I feel in a daze.
I read somethin’ written
that won’t go away.
(Chorus)
A secret message
in the sand,
written to a heartbroken
man.
To feel her love
in the air,
come alive from
pebbles in the sand.
Intro:
How long ago did the lady
leave here?
With wisdom in her eyes
and a dream to share.
The love in her heart,
she did declare.
She let me know she really
cared.
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
What can I do? What can I say?
Through the door of time she walked away.
Intro:
Standin’ all alone on
this sandy shore.
Got one thing on my mind
that I can’t ignore.
A fire burning hotter
than ever before.
I got a fire fuelled
by love with desires for more.
These Cinderella footprints,
goin’ to lead me to her.
Got no time to waste,
no time to wait for sure.
My mind is explodin’
like the fourth of July.
I got to find her.
I got to try.
(Chorus)
