If outside was colder
And I was ten years older
I might have held your hand
If only I were a successful business owner
I"d put a ring on you then
And we"d live for ourselves
And for the sand
On the hills that behold us
You"d stitch a blanket
We"d lie on down, and I"d admit
The fabric"s on a lucky thread
I picture them now
Our children"s lives; they"ve painted
'Oh mother knows our father best'
And we"d live for ourselves
And for the sand
On the hills that behold us
And I was ten years older
I might have held your hand
If only I were a successful business owner
I"d put a ring on you then
And we"d live for ourselves
And for the sand
On the hills that behold us
You"d stitch a blanket
We"d lie on down, and I"d admit
The fabric"s on a lucky thread
I picture them now
Our children"s lives; they"ve painted
'Oh mother knows our father best'
And we"d live for ourselves
And for the sand
On the hills that behold us
