Paragraph Lyric
(Don McGlashan)Are these the hands of a man? I suppose soI recall them shaking the hands of other menNow all they seem to do is write in this log bookThat's all they've done since I can't remember whenAnd there'sNo telling whenI'm going to beCarried inBut in my mindI see the landThere's a footprint in the sand,and it's going to be...Mine...It's going to beMine...It's going to be mineIs this a human face in the mirror?It looks just like a piece of the seaI've been staring at the waves so very long nowMy eyes are playing tricks on meAnd there'sNo telling whenI'm going to beCarried inBut in my mindI see the landThere's a footprint in the sand,and it's going to be...Mine...It's going to beMine...It's going to be mineI had a friend who said "Don't read these papers,The writing inside is always so small"But in the end it was him who started shrinkingIn the end you couldn't see him at allAnd there'sNo telling whenI'm going to beCarried inBut in my mindI see the landThere's a footprint in the sand,and it's going to be...Mine...It's going to beMine...It's going to be mine
