Lyrics
I'm laying on a sandy beach and waves are crashing in my dreams
Who knows how long, I couldn't care, that I had been just lying there
but all I know is there's nothing I can do
It seems to be my destiny that dreams are playing tricks on me
'cause ever since you went away, in my dreams you're back to stay,
but I awake and find it isn't true
(chorus)
I life you come and go again
and I would like to know again
if either or both of them is you
It seems that I am lucid now, if I could only fix it so
that I would never dream again of you
But even tho' I try my best, eventually I need to rest
and when I do I fall asleep and find myself back on that beach
with footprints leading up in to the dunes
If I could wish for anything, I'd wish that I would never dream
and when I awoke then I would find that this had happened in my mind
and you'd have me and I would still have you
(chorus)
{lead)
So this is me down on my knees asking you if you would please
take me back and stop the pain so we could be in love again and
turn those footprints back around,
turn those footprints back around,
turn those footprints back around ... to me
