[Verse 1] Caught a driftin' man's Longing glance Through the smoke of a cigarette Dreams and the years fly by We share our tears We take what's left [Prechorus] All of our sins and promises They all burn away in a matchstick flash He's got a way of calling me back [Chorus] He's a spirit in the sand In the sand He's a spirit in the sand He's a spirit in the sand [Verse 2] My head and heart divide On his better side It's heaven sent My mind it leads my mouth But there's a fire burning out In the distance [Prechorus] Oh These lives we've lived All our failed attempts They all fade away in a matchstick flash He's got a way of calling me back [Chorus] He's a spirit in the sand In the sand He's a spirit in the sand He's a spirit in the sand [Bridge] Heard my name on the breeze again Through the dark and winding road Thought it was a ghost I followed you But you disappeared And I was alone
