| 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 a love affair
|
| You destroyed it beyond repair
|
| You absorb the talk of a friend baby
|
| She said project the harder stalk and never bend
|
| And be free from me and the things I do
|
| 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
|
| Why do we build this castle of sand
|
| When we know very well baby, it will never stand
|
| The mental strain in my brain to 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 have washed away, 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 do we build this castle of sand
|
| When we know very well baby, it will never stand
|
| Why do we build this castle of sand
|
| When we know very well baby, it will never stand
|
| Why do we build this castle of sand
|
| When we know very well baby, it will never stand
|
| Why do we build this castle of sand
|
| When we know very well baby, it will never stand |
