Losing Tally by Philip Steele Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Running on ahead and
Feeling lonely for the first time
I don't understand
I recall when you strayed out too far
And the water stole you
It was never planned
[Pre-Chorus]
But maybe my dreams
Create the world I see
[Chorus]
I stand in the water and call out your name
But the wind blows it back to land
I look for your face and I leave you
An unfinished castle made in the sand
[Verse 2]
Memories slide away as I see
The scenery shift and transform
I'm growing roots elsewhere
Years disappear behind me
I've been losing tally
I've bid the past farewell
[Pre-Chorus]
But life leads me back
I feel solo once more
[Chorus]
I stood in the water and called out your name
But the wind blew it back to land
I looked for your face and I left you
An unfinished castle made in the sand
[Bridge]
When the waves gave you back
They left you untouched by time
But they couldn't claim your soul
You're wandering free
[Chorus]
You stood in the water and called out my name
And it blew out across the land
You looked for my face and you left me
An unfinished castle made in the sand
Running on ahead and
Feeling lonely for the first time
I don't understand
I recall when you strayed out too far
And the water stole you
It was never planned
[Pre-Chorus]
But maybe my dreams
Create the world I see
[Chorus]
I stand in the water and call out your name
But the wind blows it back to land
I look for your face and I leave you
An unfinished castle made in the sand
[Verse 2]
Memories slide away as I see
The scenery shift and transform
I'm growing roots elsewhere
Years disappear behind me
I've been losing tally
I've bid the past farewell
[Pre-Chorus]
But life leads me back
I feel solo once more
[Chorus]
I stood in the water and called out your name
But the wind blew it back to land
I looked for your face and I left you
An unfinished castle made in the sand
[Bridge]
When the waves gave you back
They left you untouched by time
But they couldn't claim your soul
You're wandering free
[Chorus]
You stood in the water and called out my name
And it blew out across the land
You looked for my face and you left me
An unfinished castle made in the sand
