Paul Weller - The Pebble and the Boy lyrics

Can you tell the difference
Between the pebble and the boy
Far away in the distance
With the sun in your eyes
Can you see the footprints
That have merged with the sand
And you're trying to find them
You find only dry land

Can you tell the difference
Between the pebble and the boy
Can you follow the heartbeats between
The boy and the man if you can, if you can

Can the future, with every step you take
Yet you feel your no further
And your walking away
Can you tell the difference between
The pepple and the man
Far away in the ocean
With his back on dry sand
Can you tell the difference
Between the pepple and the boy
Can you follow the heartbeats between
The boy and the man if you can, if you can
