Pockets Full Of Sand

I like that lazy afternoon
Still got pockets full of sand
I like that barefoot walking on a road
A funny itching in my toes
And I've got pockets full of sand now
And I've got pockets full of sand

You're getting much lighter
Now you're just like a kite
I'm holding your shoelace very tight
Fortunately I fell
And dragging you down
And I've got pockets full of sand now
And I've got pockets full of sand now
And I've got pockets full of sand

We didn't notice when great change was taking place
Working wisely in the background
I didn't notice when it was time to go
Leaving footprints far behind
Leaving footprints far behind
Leaving footprints far behind

You're getting much lighter
Now you're just like a kite
I'm holding your shoelace very tight
Fortunately I fell
And dragging you down
And I've got pockets full of sand now

Lately I'm walking backwards
Lately I'm walking back
Lately I'm walking backwards
Lately I'm walking back

You're getting much lighter
Now you're just like a kite
I'm holding your shoelace very tight
Fortunately I fell
And dragging you down
And I've got pockets full of sand now

You're getting much lighter
Now you're just like a kite
I'm holding your shoelace very tight
Fortunately I fell
And dragging you down
And I've got pockets full of sand now
