I build castles of sand and clay Time and again Again and again I build castles of sand And you trample them, you topple them down I build castles of sand Open my gates, lower the drawbridge Again and again Time and again Do you trample them, do you topple them down? I build castles of sand This is the last time The last drop in a sea of tears I gather the shards of a broken heart Time and again Again and again I build castles of granite This time you will not come But nothing and no one Will find me in this emptiness I dwell in my castles of granite I glue the shards together You steal the glue Forever I remain broken I raise the drawbridge And fill the moat With the grief and the tears of loneliness

Castles of Sand
I build castles of sand and clay Time and again Again and again I build castles of sand And you trample them, you topple them down I build castles of sand Open my gates, lower the drawbridge Again and again Time and again Do you trample them, do you topple them down? I build castles of sand This is the last time The last drop in a sea of tears I gather the shards of a broken heart Time and again Again and again I build castles of granite This time you will not come But nothing and no one Will find me in this emptiness I dwell in my castles of granite I glue the shards together You steal the glue Forever I remain broken I raise the drawbridge And fill the moat With the grief and the tears of loneliness
