Sand And Water

[babybrat07]

I heard this song while watching ER. I had to find out what it was and what the words were because just listening to the song brought me to tears. You have to go and listen to it on youtube because it is just breath taking.

All alone I didn't like the feeling

All alone I sat and cried

All alone I had to find some meaning

In the center of the pain I felt inside

All alone I came into this world

All alone I will someday die

Solid stone is just sand and water, baby

Sand and water, and a million years gone by

I will see you in the light of a thousand suns

I will hear you in the sound of the waves

I will know you when I come, as we all will come

Through the doors beyond the grave

All alone I heal this heart of sorrow

All alone I raise this child

Flesh and bone, he's just

Bursting towards tomorrow

And his laughter fills my world and wears your smile

I will see you in the light of a thousand suns

I will hear you in the sound of the waves

I will know you when I come, as we all will come

Through the doors beyond the grave

All alone I came into this world

All alone I will someday die

Solid stone is just sand and water, baby

Sand and water and a million years gone by

I came across this after having a very tough weekend of "going it alone." I remember this from ER and how beautiful I found it even then. It describes perfectly how I feel. My son, also, wears his dad's smile.

Thank you so much for posting this, it is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

As I spend another Angelversary mark today for my fur-girl, in tears and sorrow, I was just listening to "Sand and Water" (written by Elton John, actually) myself and wanted to also share a couple more of her beautiful, heart-wrenching songs....

and

(unfortunately, some of her other musical videos have disappeared now from their site)

This is one of my favorite singer/song writers.

She is no stranger to death and grief as this song was written about the loss of her own husband. She sang this at his funeral.

I have many of her albums and she is just wonderful!

I have this in my collection of 'grief' albums... songs that helped me to express my sadness when there were no words.
