Clothes Of Sand

Calexico
Who has dressed you in strange clothes of sand
Who has taken you so far from my land
Who has said that my saying were wrong
And who will say that I stayed much too long
Clothes of sand have covered your face
Given you meaning, but taken my place
So make your way on down to the sea
Something has taken you so far from me
Does it now seem worth all the colour of skies
To see the air through painted eyes
To look through panes of shaded glass
See the stains of winters grass
Can you now return to from where you came
Try to burn you'll change your name
Oh with silver spoons and colored light
Will you worship moons and winter's night
Clothes of sand have covered your face
Given you meaning, but taken my place
So make your way on down to the sea
Something has taken you so far from me
Clothes of sand have covered your face
Given you meaning, but taken my place
So make your way on down to the sea
Something has taken you so far from me
