There's sand between my toes tonight   My heart is in my mouth   I'll hold on tight   To this fragile hope    That there's still time to start again      It's underneath the sea, remains   Runs his fingers through my hair   Still it rains   When the weather's calm   I'll build a castle on the shore      In the penny arcades   Will my luck run out    Through a hole in my pocket?   Does redemption lie beneath the pier?      The tide comes in    Through derelict streets and strangled orchards   With the smell of diesel and fear      There's sand between my toes tonight   My heart is in my mouth   I'll hold on tight   To this fragile hope    That there's still time to start again      In the penny arcades   Will my luck run out    Through a hole in my pocket?   Does redemption lie beneath the pier?      The tide comes in    Through derelict streets and strangled orchards   With the smell of diesel and fear
