Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There will come a time when I'm in quicksand
When I have to help my heart to stand, so I can say goodbye to you
And there will be a day when we'll meet again
We'll be like strokes of warm rain
Sweet as sugarcane
[Chorus]
Can't change the way the wind blows
Can't change the way my heart feels
Don't go
Can't change the way the waves flow
Can't change the way my heart feels
Don't go
[Verse 2]
Can't change the urgency inside me
Can't change the way my heart feels
Don't go
[Chorus]
Can't change the way the wind blows
Can't change the way my heart feels
Don't go
Can't change the way the waves flow
Can't change the way my heart feels
Don't go
[Verse 3]
Oh, quicksand, quicksand
Ooh, I have to help my heart to stand
'Cause I love, love, love, love, love you, don't let go of my hand
Mm, don't go, don't go, don't go
Quicksand
[Chorus]
Can't change the way the wind blows
Can't change the way my heart feels
Don't go
Can't change the way the waves flow
Can't change the way my heart feels
Don't go
[Outro]
Can't change the way my heart feels
Don't go
