On the beach writin' in the sand
She's a throwaway from the Promised land
All she owns is on her back
She carries everything in a little paper sack
She writes her story in the sand each day
The tide rolls in to wash it all away
She's trying to tell us how sad it is
To spend your life a prisoner of a dream
She's very fragile, she's lost her mind
Her life is precious, the world is so unkind
Her eyes are empty as she madly writes
Bum a little money, wrap rags around her feet
She writes her story in the sand each day
Tide rolls in to wash it all away
She's tryin' to tell us how sad it seems
To live your life a prisoner of a dream
All alone each and every day
It's a land of plenty but she's got nowhere to stay
The streets and alleys are where she lives
'Cause the land of plenty
Has got no more to give
Cardboard box gonna be her bed
Sky's the only roof above her head
She's a throwaway from the Promised land
All she owns is on her back
She carries everything in a little paper sack
She writes her story in the sand each day
The tide rolls in to wash it all away
She's trying to tell us how sad it is
To spend your life a prisoner of a dream
She's very fragile, she's lost her mind
Her life is precious, the world is so unkind
Her eyes are empty as she madly writes
Bum a little money, wrap rags around her feet
She writes her story in the sand each day
Tide rolls in to wash it all away
She's tryin' to tell us how sad it seems
To live your life a prisoner of a dream
All alone each and every day
It's a land of plenty but she's got nowhere to stay
The streets and alleys are where she lives
'Cause the land of plenty
Has got no more to give
Cardboard box gonna be her bed
Sky's the only roof above her head
I guess we re doin all right baby We got no reason to complain We got so much love between us Ain t got to sl...
