Summerday Sands

intro * arpeggio                      *              I once met a girl with the life in her hands                              and we lay together on the summerday sands.                        *               I gave her my raincoat and told her ``Lady be   good!’’   sus4 And we made truth together where no one else   would.           I smiled through her fingers and ran the dust   through her hands ---   the hour-glass of reason on the summerday sands.   We sat as the sea caught fire.   Waited as the flames grew higher   in her eyes.       We watched the eagle born ---   wings clipped tail feathers shorn   but we saw him rise ---          over summerday sands.     (Rest the same)   Came the ten o’clock curfew.   She said ``I must start my car.   I’m staying with someone I met last night in a   bar.’’   I called from my wave top ---   ``At least tell me your name!’’   She smiled from her wheelspin   and said ``It’s all the same.’’   I thought for a minute jumped back on dry land ---   left one set of footprints on the summerday sands.   I once met a girl with the life in her hands   and we lied together on the summerday sands.   words and music by Ian Anderson    Am/D = *XX0555   Dsus4/6/9*=XX0000
