Wide Arches - Pictures in the Sand Lyrics

Distance is a feeling you know all too well
Spreads around you like a fire that you can't quell
All the things that you had planned
Fade like pictures in the sand
Try to fill the gaps between
With all the faces you have seen
The places that you've been
Through memories, regrets you're sifting
Space is growing, you're still drifting
You withdraw into your thoughts
And you're still caught
By all the things you try to fix
This feeling somehow always sticks
All this baggage to unpack
You've been partway round the world and back
Just to find what you once had is what you now lack
Trying to patch up this old rift
Praying one day things will shift
That your spirits soon will lift
Just holding on to hope can be a gift
It's a long stretch, you try to etch
One last picture in the sand
Drifting still, someday you'll land
One last picture in the sand
Drifting still, someday you'll land
