there inside the palm of your hand
you have it all
the lines of life that will carry you home
just open up
and you can let the warm sand slip through your fingers
just one more time

and there in the split second
the salt tears of the sea
will wash away your sorrows for the last time
then lay down
heal in the sun
take your time

and when you finally open your eyes
you will just not only see me
you will see my heart for the first time
maybe not in the bright light of passion
but in the shadow of tender trust
