Richie Havens - For Haven's Sake lyrics

So time flies, day by day
The hours they spend,
The minutes far away
So I wait, thought by thought
My feet upon the sinking, sinking sand
You're there, somewhere
Where are you?
Where are you?
Where are you?
I cannot see you
The sand gets deeper, grain by grain
Oh slow, slow is sleep
Night by night, I'm reading words
I'm reading words that now seem absurd
And I'm there somewhere
Where am I?
Where am I?
Where am I?
Where am I?
Day by day, the sand gets deeper
Grain by grain
I'm sinking,
I'm sinking, grain by grain
Grain by grain.
Yeah, I'm sinking, day by day
I'm sinking, grain by grain
Grain by grain
