"Line In The Sand" lyrics

I want to see how worlds are made
I want to see how water flows
And when I'm counting every silver braid
I will count the breathing stars

In the turning of our lives
In the ever burning lover's sigh
In St. Petersberg bitter and cold
We were looking for glory and gold

When the braile rubs against my hand
I'm looking for a thread in the sand
I took a breath and drew in the air
A circle with your smoke and your hair

In the first light of the sky
In the iridescent cloud of desire
In the blue depths of the sea
I stepped upon the lead and gold
I stepped upon the lead and gold

All the grey birds flying away
From a land made of leather and clay
Where the people hold their lives in their hands
They're all following a line in the sand

I took a second look and turn it away
Another green world back into clay
A short fall fallen astray
Never far from far away

In the turning of the world
All the brilliance of diamonds and pearls
In the present that we hold in our hands
We're all looking for a line in the sand

Just looking for the line in the sand
We're all looking for a line in the sand

Just looking for the line in the sand
We're all looking for a line in the sand

Just looking for the line in the sand
We're all looking for a line in the sand
