Elastic No-No Band - Ballad of the Lonesome Stranger, Pt. 1

Is time grains of sand
That slip quickly, so fast?
Is it ticks of the clock
That just won't stretch or last?
If it's true time ain't nothing
But pieces of sand
How can so little time
Do so much to a man?
He's been traveling so long
He ain't sure quite since when
Some nights he stays up wondering
Just how long it has been
Staring up at the sky
Trading thoughts with the moon
He sings it a lullaby
When he remembers the tune
Lonesome stranger
Rides in the day and the night
Faces the greatest uncertainty
Hopes that he'll put the wrongs right
The sand shifts and swirls
As he sings a refrain
Like salt in a wound
It just adds to the pain
They say smoke in your eyes
Will bring you some tears
But the sand wears you down
And leaves the mark of the years
Lonesome stranger
Rides in the day and the night
Faces the greatest uncertainty
Hopes that he'll put the wrongs right
