Castles of Sand
Yeah, yeah
Why do we build this castle of sand
When we know very well baby, it will never stand?
I tried to cope, I really hoped that you would see
You were the only girl for me baby
I tried to mend, but you condemned my love affair
You destroyed it beyond repair
You absorb the talk of a friend, baby
She says project the harder stalk and never bend
And be free from me and the things I do
But can't you see she's trying to take me from you?
Why do we build this castle of sand
When we know very well baby, it will never stand?
The mental strain in my brain
Too great a price to pay
For the way you make me feel in bed, baby
And all our plans, these grains of sand
The waves washed away
Oh, the book that I misread
You don't equate sex with love
But isn't the love we make worthy of
More than wishful thoughts and plastic smiles
And ecstasy that only last for a while?
Why, why do we build this castle of sand
When we know very well baby, it will never stand?
Why, why do we build this castle of sand
When we know very well baby, it will never stand?
Oh
Castle of sand
Why do we build this castle of sand
When we know very well baby, it will never stand?
I tried to cope, I really hoped that you would see
You were the only girl for me baby
I tried to mend, but you condemned my love affair
You destroyed it beyond repair
You absorb the talk of a friend, baby
She says project the harder stalk and never bend
And be free from me and the things I do
But can't you see she's trying to take me from you?
Why do we build this castle of sand
When we know very well baby, it will never stand?
The mental strain in my brain
Too great a price to pay
For the way you make me feel in bed, baby
And all our plans, these grains of sand
The waves washed away
Oh, the book that I misread
You don't equate sex with love
But isn't the love we make worthy of
More than wishful thoughts and plastic smiles
And ecstasy that only last for a while?
Why, why do we build this castle of sand
When we know very well baby, it will never stand?
Why, why do we build this castle of sand
When we know very well baby, it will never stand?
Oh
Castle of sand
