Description
At sixteen, sitting on a life guard tower late at night, lamenting an unrequited love and feeling the deserted sand as empty as my heart. Not quite sad though, there's a ray of hope in there somewhere. A little Jimmy Buffett mixed with Harry Belafonte.

Deserted Sand Copyright © 1969 by Thomas M. Link – All Rights Reserved Out across the deserted sand Deserted heart a deserted man A lonely man with no place to go And nobody that he knows And he will cry, he will cry Tears to wash the hurt away Cry, he will cry Hoping love comes another day Out along the streets alone A thousand people, but none his own “We don’t care” they seem to say And so he goes on his way And he will cry, he will cry Tears to wash the hurt away Cry, he will cry Hoping love comes another day (Oh Yeah) Music x 1 A pretty woman she hangs her head Deep inside feeling love is dead A lonely heart with no place to go And nobody that she’s knows And she will cry, she will cry Tears to wash the hurt away Cry, she will cry Hoping Love comes another day And in the coffee shops and in the bars Underneath all the empty stars We don’t care people seem to say And so we go on our way And we will cry, we will cry Tears to wash the hurt away Cry, we will cry Hoping love comes another day (All the people) Music/Instrumental x 2 In the heart of every man There is some deserted sand In the heart of a woman too So here’s what you have to do So you don’t cry, you don’t cry Tears to wash the hurt away Cry, you don’t cry Hoping love comes another day If you both can be lonely too Here is an answer for both of you Get together – and you both can say Maybe love will be here to stay And you won’t cry, you won’t cry Tears to wash the hurt away Cry, you won’t cry Hoping love comes another day, (oh no) ‘Cause love will be here to stay, Say it with me Love will be here to stay, (come on now) Love will be here to stay, (All the people) Love will be here to stay, (You know) Love will be here to…. Love will be here to stay. -30-
