[Verse 1] The beach showed up early Then slipped out by noon Built itself a new smile Under the sun and moon One minute it’s a long road Next minute, gone again It keeps on changing shirts Like a cousin with good friends [Pre-Chorus] Look twice, then look again You still missed half the view One eye sees the shoreline The other sees it move [Chorus] Sand between tides, sand between tides Always arriving, always goodbye Sand between tides, sand between tides You laugh, then it slips through your hands Sand between tides, sand between tides Never the same, but easy to dance (Sand between tides) [Verse 2] The little kids build castles The waves file a complaint They take the front door first Then act like that’s a game A crab moves in sideways Like he owns the lease And the shells keep their secrets In a pocket of the breeze [Pre-Chorus] Look twice, then look again It’s never one fixed face The beach keeps changing costumes Right there in its place [Chorus] Sand between tides, sand between tides Always arriving, always goodbye Sand between tides, sand between tides You laugh, then it slips through your hands Sand between tides, sand between tides Never the same, but easy to dance (Sand between tides) [Bridge] One lens catches bright foam One lens catches stones One sees the tide in motion One sees the sand all alone Put them all together And you finally get the song A beach that keeps on moving And still feels like home [Final Chorus] Sand between tides, sand between tides Always arriving, always goodbye Sand between tides, sand between tides You laugh, then it slips through your hands Sand between tides, sand between tides Never the same, but easy to dance (Sand between tides) Sand between tides, sand between tides Always becoming, never just one thing (Sand between tides)
