Lyrics
As the Sand Moves Through the Glass
Words and music Robert Wuagneux
Jungle gyms, cowboy films
Handful of forget-me-nots
Climbing trees two skinned knees
faithful dog everyone calls Spot
And the sand keeps moving through the glass
Grades through eight
Your first date
faceless squeezes in a parking lot
Rah-rah cheers
sneaking beers
ribboned-scroll tells the world you know a lot
And the sand keeps moving through the glass
Start as friends
holding hands
pretty soon an exchange of vows
slaps on the back
a few wise cracks
love and nature's made a family now
And the sand keeps moving through the glass
Not too slow but oh so fast
Middle aged
feeling caged
live my life by the corporate plan
family's grown
on their own
a card or letter from them now and then
And the sand keeps moving through the glass
Grandaddy hi
Hello it's me
I called to tell gee thanks a lot
His coat's so soft
and y'know
he even comes
when I call him Spot
And the sand keeps moving through the glass
Not too slow but oh so fast
