The ground we stand nYeah, Nothing more than sinking sand nThe rock gave way to the tidenEroded by her smile nShe swallowed us alivennThe winds bellowednAnd the clouds did clearnSo the sun it shone so bright nnThe ice melted and the grass did grownWhen our sorrows came alive nn‘Cause all the pretty, pretty flowersnWilt and die they turn to earth nLike our spirit’s when we found our faith in a drunken tryst nAnd drove ourselves homennThe ground we stand nYeah, nothing more than sinking sandnThe rock gave way to the tidenEroded by her smilenOh, she swallowed us alive nI never felt so alive nnYour lips they raise the dead like Jesus nMy hands are reaching towards the heavens nI touched the sunnNo, I touched the sun
