[CHARLIE]
Love is just sand
Slippery but clinging
Love is just sand
Stir it and it flies
Love is just grand
Till you feel it stinging
Your eyes

Love is just sand
Slipping through your fingers
Now it's in hand
Now it isn't there
Just like sand
Even when it lingers
All it's about
Is you can't get it out
Of your hair

It can seem smooth
When really it's bumpy
It can look soft and be dry
Warm and be soothing
Hot and make you jumpy
Although you'll never know until you try:
Is it the Sahara
Or a beach beneath a Caribbean sky?
Love is just sand
You can feel it shifting
Soon as you stand
You begin to sink
Everything's planned
Then it gets to drifting
Never to where you think
Love ain't solid land
It's just sand

It can seem smooth
When really it's bumpy
It can look soft and be dry
Warm and be soothing
Hot and make you jumpy
Although you'll never know until you try:
Is it the Sahara
Or a beach beneath a Caribbean sky?

Love is just sand
You can feel it shifting
Soon as you stand
You begin to sink
Everything's planned
Then it gets to drifting
Never to where you think
Love ain't solid land
It's just sand
Nothing but sand
