Lyrics
The children's photographs Hang statically From mobile threads training in the wind Of time and memory Flashing faces Smiling frozen in the blink of the eye Of mind as it focused at a time Within memory Impelling eternity Toward me now As places stretch between The real trees grass sand and gulf And places where the real faces move And places where the real faces move I've got a plan I've got a woman And I'll be damned in Florida sand Sprinkled from beach buckets by tiny hands Stacey smile Katie smile Jason smile Smile Dan As the sand slips through their tiny hands Flashing faces Smiling frozen in the blink of the eye Of mind as it focused at a time Within memory Impelling eternity Toward me now As places stretch between The real trees grass sand and gulf And places where the real faces move And places where the real faces move I've got a plan I've got a woman And I'll be damned in Florida sand Sprinkled from beach buckets by tiny hands Stacey smile Katie smile Jason smile smile Dan As the sand slips through their tiny hands The children's photographs Hang statically From mobile threads training in the wind Of time and memory Impelling eternity Toward me now As places stretch between The real trees grass sand and gulf And places where the real faces move And places where the real faces move Words and Music (c) 1990, 2002 by Jack E.
