Songs. Castle of Sand

I built a castle out of sand,
On the shore of the ocean wide.
Every wave would wash it away,
Every wind would pull it aside…

I built a castle out of sand,
I painted dreams inside my mind,
But in those walls, so sadly true,
There was no love for me to find.

I raised the walls, I drew the lines,
I carved my channels made of hope,
But even the first storm of the sky
Turned it all to smoke.

I shaped the towers with my hands,
I cut the gates so carefully,
But even one small bird in flight
Broke everything in me.

I built a castle out of sand,
On the shore of the ocean wide.
Every wave would wash it away,
Every wind would pull it aside…

I laid my strength and all my dreams
Right at the entrance of the door,
But even one small twist of fate
Destroyed it all once more.

I gave you everything I had,
I swallowed pain, I hid the cracks,
I tore my heart in silent screams,
Never showing that.

I placed my soul at your feet,
My purest hopes, my every prayer,
But all I took was regret,
While the wind tore castles in the air…

I built a castle out of sand,
On the shore of the ocean wide.
Every wave would wash it away,
Every wind would pull it aside…
