Marking Time - Lyrics - Terry Reid

Sand in my hair And sand in almost everything I own Birds wheeling high in the sky But don't know which way to fly, which way to go Well I'm standing here Just looking at the sea Trying to wonder whether it sits for me Or not at all No one wants to change it So many people, so many people May sit around and moan But you're not, you're not, you're not Going to find it very far away from home I've been looking here Trying to realize Whether it's something that I could compromise Or not at all But nobody really wants to change it Call me anything Call me a fool Call me what you want But just stay cool, stay cool, stay cool, stay cool I'm standing here Trying to mesmerize wondering, wondering if the people realize Or not at all But nobody really wants to ever change it So many people Sit and ask me why But I'm just keeping hold of the seeds Until the day I die Sitting here I'm trying to realize If it's really worth it Or whether I should make out to disguise about it If there's no way at all
