Beware, for I am sand in your velvet hands By the beach you found me lying near clear waters Gathered my flecks on your way to play volley I was cheerful and in tears, I was finally together in your arms I adored the way your touch toughened me up for a while I know that the clock ticks as you play with my shines Don't let your fingers move apart, don't suffocate my broken parts And if you may decide to let go of me , let it be forever in the deep blue sea
