Who has dressed you in strange clothes of sand

 Who has taken you far from my land

 Who has said my saying were wrong

 And who will say that I stayed much too long?


 Clothes of sand have covered your face

 Given you meaning but taken my place

 So make your way on down the sea

 Something has take you so far from me


 Does it now seem worth all the colour of skies

 To see the earth through painted eyes

 To look through panes of shaded glass

 See the stains of winter's grass?


 Can you now return to from where you came

 Try to burn your changing name

 Or with silver spoons and coloured light

 Will you worship moons in winter's night


 Clothes of sand have covered your face

 Given you meaning but taken my place

 So make your way on down the sea

 Something has take you so far from me
