Draw another line in the sand
Say come to here but no further
As if the sand was at your command
And didn't blow always

Despite the anthem played by your band
Despite the colours flying from the flagpole
Very soon you'll overplay your hand
And the sand won't stay

As it drifts around
High above the ground
It's the only thing you can see
But come the next new Moon
There's a new sand dune
Where your line used to be

Make another final demand
Bang your fist down hard on the table
But you don't have the strength in your hand
That you used to do

As it drifts around
High above the ground
It's the only thing you can see
But come the next new Moon
There's a new sand dune
Where your line used to be

Draw another line in the sand
Say come to here but no further
As if the sand was at your command
And didn't blow always
