It`s a les-son too late for the learn-ing

Made of sand  Made of sand 
3   3    3  3  3   4  4   -4  -3  -3   3
In the wink of an eye my soul is turn-ing

In your hand  In your hand

Well I could have loved you bet-ter

You`ve got reason a plenty fo going 
This I know   This I know 
For the weeds have been steadily growing 
Please don`t go    Please don`t go 
Repeat Chorus

As I lie in my bed in the morning 
Without you   Without you 
Each song in my breast dies a borning 
Without you  Without you 
Repeat Chorus
