Sandy Babe

The sunsets best here in the west I dasn’t dare to boast or jest

I see her face forget the rest Sandy babe upon my chest

And when I pull her closer I can’t explain But I can almost make it rain

The sun is fading as it’s less and less But more sun’s shining from my brain

One handy way to keep a sandy babe Hold her in the sand all day

Take in the rays the sunscreen plays Upon her skin in golden ways

I love her gaze, her sense of grace

Can’t tell you how long I hope that she stays Sandy babe a tiny wave

And later by the fireplace

And on the wall with her bare feet and all This place will never be the same

I whistle pretty like a pigeon call

Just to keep her close again

The sand tastes like sugar So sweet

Sand tastes like sugar Sugar, sugar, so sweet When it’s on a sandy babe

And maybe later when I’m wholly gray I’ll explain in some way

The way the light falls kindly on my brow When I’m living on this day

With my sandy babe I only tried in vain To harness compromise or tame

That special flame from nowhere came And I’m so warm my pits are stained

My eyes are stronger than they used to be

 Yeah they feel like x-rays

I linger longer than I promised to

She sees back so good I stay

With my sandy babe there is no other way To find more gold in any day

I preach and pout I kneel and pray

I dose out in a purple haze

This letter’s longer than I promised you And nearly twice as brave

But all the places that we’ve gotten to And all the time we’re gonna save

I can’t explain the sandy way

I know I need a sandy babe

I’d never trade this mood we’ve made What else dare to come my way

And it is lighter than the light alone

This feeling holds the day

My heart can feel like such a happy home When I brush the sand from her wet face It seems like sugar

So sweet

Sand tastes like sugar

Sugar, sugar, so sweet

When it’s on a sandy babe
