A Million Grains of Sand

Before the day is done
Let's throw the stones
Into the wishing well
And watch them fall down, down

I thought I heard a voice
Coming from the trees
It said, now listen boy
Who're you trying to please?
Who're you trying to please?
Who're you trying to please?

As I fall
Into you
Like a million grains of sand falling through my hands
As I fall
Into you
Like a million grains of sand falling through my hands

Young men overhead
Keep gazing down
Into the streets they stare
To wander round, round, round

Hoping to forget
Why the things they do
Are only good for some
But not enough for you

Who're you trying to please?
Who're you trying to please?
Who're you trying to please?
Who're you trying to please?

As I fall
Into you
Like a million grains of sand falling through my hands
As I fall
Into you
Like a million grains of sand falling through my hands

As I fall
Into you
Like a million grains of sand falling through my hands
As I fall
Into you
Like a million grains of sand falling through my hands

As I fall
Into you
Like a million grains of sand falling through my hands

Who're you trying to please?
