Lyrics Karin Krog and John Surman - Ribbon Of Sand

As I saw you close the door
As I watched you walkin’ away
Than a light went out in my life, my friend
And the darkness moved in a light day
I’m not sure of the where or the when
But I know It’ll happen again
Just as time is a healer of sorrow
So a love can depart live in pain
When the sun shown high over
I was luck and so much in love
Now the winter winds they have blown us apart
And I feel there is ice in my heart
Oh, turn back the clock to the hour
When the sound of your voice had a power
That would set my heart a leaping
And eyes lift my soul a weeping
Oh, they tell me to smile and be glad
I am free to be prudent or mad
As the apple of life follows the flowing of time
In the mist of the future unknown
Know the meaning of sorrow and pain
And my heart will wake once again
Oh, my life has become a wasteland
And my hopes just a ribbon of sand
