Lyrics from the poem "On the Sand" by Edgar Oliver
lyrics
I was happy that day -
at Coney Island with Michael and Angela and Dash.
We went onto the sand.
We were in a magic circle
at Nathan’s hot dog stand
And Dash ran circles around us at the table -
a magical circle, Michael, Angela and me -
and Dash ran round us.
And we were together.
Dash wrestled his father out on the sand.
I am but a worm who imagined wrestling a man.
If only my daddy would have wrestled with me.
My whole life -
when I'm alone -
which is always -
I think of myself as untouchable and alone.
I always wished to wrestle with my father on the sand.
And the sea is there -
coming for us beautifully
and always.
at Coney Island with Michael and Angela and Dash.
We went onto the sand.
We were in a magic circle
at Nathan’s hot dog stand
And Dash ran circles around us at the table -
a magical circle, Michael, Angela and me -
and Dash ran round us.
And we were together.
Dash wrestled his father out on the sand.
I am but a worm who imagined wrestling a man.
If only my daddy would have wrestled with me.
My whole life -
when I'm alone -
which is always -
I think of myself as untouchable and alone.
I always wished to wrestle with my father on the sand.
And the sea is there -
coming for us beautifully
and always.
