Testo Sand - Thompson Square
Testo della canzone Sand (Thompson Square), tratta dall'album Thompson Square
I was cleaning out the closet
Fixing to move
Behind a dusty cardboard box
Was an old pair of tennis shoes
I hadn't worn
Since I damn well know when
I picked one up and held it in my hand
Turned it over and out poured sand
Closed my eyes and it was summer
Two years ago last June
A beach that went forever
Water beyond blue
Then I saw you
My God, what a view
I forgot about all my other plans
As we talked and laughed and laid there in the sand
It was on our skin
It was in our hair
The only thing between us
It was everywhere
And we made love
Till the sun went down
The only two souls for miles around
Just you and me and sand
I pulled out the sweeper
And tried to clean it up
But I guess there's some things
You never can quite get rid of
Like sand, like love
Girl, there's just no getting over you
No part of me you haven't got into
It was on our skin
It was in our hair
The only thing between us
It was everywhere
And we made love
Till the sun went down
The only two souls for miles around
Making love I can't forget
Oh, I've tried but it ain't happened yet
Your memory's all over me
Like sand
Like sand
We met outside the Main Street Piggly Wiggly
I was with my brothers, you were with your mom
An hour later I was shagging fly balls
On your front lawn
Your dad came home and said I wasn't welcome
But when I shook his hand his frown turned to a grin
And that's how I became part of the family
And your best friend
And after school about three o'clock
You say, "Come on boy, let's go for a walk"
And when your mama drives to town
It's you and me in the back with the window rolled down
Sometimes on our way back home
I sneak a lick or two from your ice cream cone
It's alright, I'm living a dog's life
I knew you had an eye for Tina Williams
But you were just too scared to try to make your move
I ran away and turned up on Tina's front porch
So she'd call you
Now you dress up on Friday night
You say, "Come on boy, let's go for a ride"
When you and Tina drive to town
I'm alone in the back with the window rolled down
I sit and watch on our way home
As the two of you share one ice cream cone
But it's alright, I'm living a dog's life
They said no pets allowed in your new dorm room
So you scratched my ears and said so long to me
Until Thanksgiving, Christmas and that week in April
I've got my dreams
And it's after school about three o'clock
You say, "Come on boy, let's go for a walk"
And when your mama drives to town
It's you and me in the back with the window rolled down
Every time on our way home
I sneak a lick or two from your ice cream cone
It's alright, I'm dreaming a dog's life
It's a dog's life
