The Sand And The Foam

Author: Dan Fogelberg
 Dawn... like an angel
 Lights on the step
 Muting the morning she heralds
 Dew on the grass
 Like the tears the night wept
 Gone long before
 The day wears old
 Times stills the singing
 A child holds so dear
 And I'm just beginning to hear
 Gone are the pathways
 The child followed home
 Gone, like the sand and the foam
 Pressed in the pages
 Of some aging text
 Lies an old lily a-crumbling
 Marking a moment
 Of childish respects
 Long since betrayed and forgotten
 Times stills the singing
 A child holds so dear
 And I'm just beginning to hear
 Gone are the pathways
 The child followed home
 Gone, like the sand and the foam
 Dawn... like an angel
 Lights on the step
 Muting the morning she heralds
 Dew on the grass
 Like the tears the night wept
 Gone long before
 The day wears old
 Times stills the singing
 A child holds so dear
 And I'm just beginning to hear
 Gone are the pathways
 The child followed home
 Gone, like the sand and the foam
 Gone like the sand (gone like the sand)
 Gone, like the sand and the foam
