Castles In The Sand

Now that the light is fading

The shadows stretch across the space

That held our love not long ago

The memories are breaking

As I watch our footprints losing shape

And something in my heart grows cold

I guess I always knew

There's a part of you that I could never save

And as I walk into the waves

I say

We built our castles in the sand

We knew the tide was coming

Washing through our hands

We built our castles proud and tall

So how could I be so surprised they fall?

So how could I be so surprised, so surprised they fall?

We built our castles in the sand

I saw the skylight flying

But hoped somehow you'd prove me wrong

'Cause there's no way I'd let you go

As all our dreams come crashing

Down into oceans set in gold

A story gone before it's told

I guess I always knew

There's a part of you that I could never save

And as I walk into the waves

I say

We built our castles in the sand

We knew the tide was coming

Washing through our hands, through our hands

We built our castles proud and tall

So how could I be so surprised they fall?

We built our castles in the sand
