[Intro]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

[Verse 1]
My feet are bare, my hair blows wild
Leave me here, for I once was child in this place, in this place
And now it's hard to reconcile, for all these years
How I have held myself miles from your embrace, your embrace

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know I had to spread my wings to find my way
But I never dreamed they'd carry me so far
And when I made that choice, I felt like I'd escaped
But I always felt it pulling on my heart

[Chorus]
And now the sand in my shoes reminds me of you
And I wish I was there, closer to you
With my daughter on the beach, and her bare little feet
And the wind in our wild, wild hair
Yeah, I always felt it pulling on my heart

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

[Verse 2]
The clock has stopped, the time has come, to find my place
'Cause I've been running so long at this pace, at this pace
And now it's hard to carry on, when memories
Flood in fast as they run without a trace, without a trace

[Pre-Chorus]
I know I had to spread my wings to find my way
But I never dreamed they'd carry me so far
And when I made that choice, I felt like I'd escaped
But I still feel it pulling on my heart

[Chorus]
And now the sand in my shoes reminds me of you
And I wish I was there, closer to you
With my daughter on the beach, and her bare little feet
And the wind in our wild, wild hair
And now the sand in my shoes reminds me of you
And I wish I was there, closer to you
With my daughter on the beach, and her bare little feet
And the wind in our wild, wild hair
Yeah, I always felt it pulling on my heart
