Scattered in the Sand - Colin Hay

Somewhere along the river bend

Maybe we will meet again

Things we thought were there at our command

Scattered in the sand, scattered in the sand

I saw the house on Minerva Lane

The gate was shut with lock and chain

Memories of what once was grand

Scattered in the sand, scattered in the sand

I watched you sleeping as you drifted away

Love’s for the keeping I still hear you say

I saw you in my flying dreams

On the bridge from here to there it seems

Only then I spread your ashes where

The ocean meets the land

Scattered in the sand, scattered in the sand

I watched you sleeping as you drifted away

Love’s for the keeping I still hear you say

I watched you sleeping as you drifted away

Love’s for the keeping
