A Handful of Sand Lyrics

Pay, take your change
And please don't cry
If you find it small,
Then, do not buy.
Between my fingers so fast
Like a handful of sand
As I can take it at last,
It slips away from my hands.

Things, books, and shoes
Look after what you spend.
Pay you rent
Before it's too late.
Keep something left,
In case of a weary day.
I can say
Times are uncertain...
Between my fingers so fast
Like a handful of sand
As I can take it at last,
It slips away from my hands.

Cheap or expensive
Everything has a price
It's so nice
When you can spend it.
But wash your hands
After touching it,
'Cos as you see
It is just like s***.
Between my fingers so fast
Like a handful of sand
As I can take it at last,
It slips away from my hands.
