Asher Kramer & the Gone Astray BaNd

Lyrics

The tide came in hard last night and washed away the tracks
Of children and sandcastles that won’t be come back
When I saw the sunrise on the empty beach
I just had to laugh
Sand piles high on ocean paths

Mark you well the days that run and seasons’ scars on hills
Remember shadows as they pass by while you’re standing still
I still see you standing on the beach
I’ve got a photograph
And sand piles high on ocean paths

A seagull’s soaring on the wind the sea smoke fades away
Revealing horizons lost to time, a thousand yesterdays
I stand there counting on the beach
trying to do the math
As sand piles high on ocean paths

We walk along the rocky trail waves crashing far below
Watching clouds racing east to points we cannot know
I hum a song I used to play on my father’s phonograph
While sand piles high on ocean paths

The last storm washed away the stairs, we cannot go below,
The beach is littered with the wrecks of ships beneath the snow,
Someday I’ll write a song about it in elegant paragraphs
About sand piling high on ocean paths
