Castles in the Sand

Rrr505 1979



I don't have time for wasting

and worrying about it all.

I won't be thinking about the pieces

and where they might fall.

Too little time for living

with your pockets full of hands.

Like there's no tomorrow...

castles in the sand.



My times to short for answers

the damage will be done.

The wax it melts so quickly

like candles in the sun.

A thousand voices singing

and a thousand empty hands.

Like there's not tomorrow...

castles in the sand.



You might go on waiting

but the grains of sand move on.

The tide's forever rising higher

to wash away your courtyard walls.



You're just a fading shadow

to be cast upon the sand.

Like there's no tomorrow...

castles in the sand.
