Sandboy - Marc Almond[00:00:00]
Written by:Marc Almond; Martin Watkins[00:00:00]
You never meant to play the tortured soul[00:00:06]
But you cried your way into the role[00:00:12]
You just wanted to be a sandboy[00:00:17]
Happy as a sandboy[00:00:24]
Used to stare out at the sea[00:00:28]
Better places you could be[00:00:31]
And a ship that would come through[00:00:34]
A ship to come for you[00:00:37]
Walking on the tideline[00:00:40]
Just a way to bide time[00:00:43]
Looking for the right sign[00:00:46]
In those days you know of joy[00:00:48]
You were happy as a sandboy[00:00:57]
Always had a cheerful song to sing[00:01:03]
Forever looking for the sandboy[00:01:09]
Whatever happened to him[00:01:15]
Happened to him[00:01:20]
So you kept your child inside[00:01:26]
Where so many secrets hide[00:01:29]
You never showed your pain[00:01:32]
Burried in the sand never seen again[00:01:35]
Your madness to despair[00:01:38]
Too much you seemed to care[00:01:40]
All the cruel things that were said[00:01:43]
Running rings around your head[00:01:46]
And the city called to you[00:01:49]
You knew what you had to do[00:01:52]
So you kept your child inside[00:01:55]
Where he waits and where he hides[00:01:58]
The tide never came in[00:02:01]
Never anything to bring[00:02:03]
A ship of fools instead of luck[00:02:06]
You always seemed to mess it up[00:02:09]
You were happy as a sandboy[00:02:19]
Always had a cheerful song to sing[00:02:24]
Forever looking for the sandboy[00:02:30]
Whatever happened to him[00:02:36]
Happened to him[00:02:41]
In the city you were shown[00:02:47]
All the things you'd never known[00:02:49]
And time had turned the years[00:02:53]
From happiness to tears[00:02:56]
You forgot about the sea[00:02:58]
And that child you used to be[00:03:01]
And through many dreams came true[00:03:04]
You lost so much of you[00:03:07]
You never meant to be a tortured soul[00:03:40]
Always searching for another role[00:03:46]
You just wanted to find the sandboy[00:03:50]
Looking for the sandboy[00:03:58]
So you went back to the sea[00:04:02]
Always where you'd meant to be[00:04:05]
And the ship had long sailed on[00:04:08]
At last you could be free[00:04:11]
You found him on the tide line[00:04:14]
He'd been there all the time[00:04:17]
He was somewhere in your heart[00:04:19]
And once again you knew of joy[00:04:22]
You were happy as a sandboy[00:04:29]
