Lyrics for Fish on the Sand

I know you're in the sun I know you're close to ev'ryone At times it's like you don't have a hold on me. I see you in the love I see you in the moon above But I want to know that you're not lost inside of me. You know I need you You know I love you If I'm not with you I'm not so much of a man. I'm like a fish on the sand. You call me in the night (you call me in the night) And hide behind the daylight You're blowing like a wind, you don't let me see. You know I feel a pain (you know I feel a pain) I'm tired of playing games with you Though there's nothing else I want that would set me free. You know I love you You know I need you If I can't be with you I'm not so much of a man I'm a fish on the sand. No use to no one else, they've all dried up Watching all our lives go by I can't believe you'd want to see me crying. I hold you in my heart (hold you in my heart) I know that you're a part of me But it's a must to know that you love me too. I look you in the eye (look you in the eye) You're swimming by my teardrops But I want to know for sure that you'll let me see. You know I want you You know I need you If I'm not with you I'm not so much of a man I'm like a fish on the sand. You know I need you You know I love you If I'm not with you I'm not so much of a man I'm a fish on the sand Not so much of a man More a fish on the sand
