about

Not to be confused with the Dylan song by the same name! For once it's just a coincidence. There was just nothing else I could call it really - it IS Every Grain Of Sand...

Every grain of sand is too much for me
Every grain of sand washes into the sea
And as I watch them flow
Some out and some in
Slipping away Lord
And so I begin
To wash into the deep dark sea.

lyrics

Every Grain of Sand (Idris Davies )

Every grain of sand is too much for me
Every grain of sand washes into the sea
And as I watch them flow
Some out and some in
Slipping away Lord
And so I begin
To wash into the deep dark sea.

Well time is an ocean, or so I’ve heard
And every grain of sand cannot deny the word
Of the story of life
Of old things and new
Of sinkin and swimming
In this ocean of blue
Oh mystic and mighty Time carry me away.

Carry me, carry me,
Away from here
Time carry me away.
