Sandcastles

Build me a castle that's made out of sand

And I'll take your hand

And we'll watch as the sunset looms

And build me a castle that's made out of jokes

Of whiskey and cokes

And slow dancing in crowded rooms

I don't want to hear it

Sandcastles rise and they fall

Yeah

And I don't want to hear it

Sandcastles don't last at all

We built a place for us to run and hide

I hope it isn't washed away by the tide

Build me a castle that's made out of milk

Of far eastern silk

And a whole bunch of pretty things

Build me a castle that's made out of ink

Of showgirls in pink

With a rug for the socialites

I don't want to hear it

Sandcastles rise and they fall

Yeah

And I don't want to hear it

Sandcastles don't last at all

We built a place for us to run and hide

I hope it isn't washed away by the tide

So build me a castle that's made out of tiles

Of cute dimpled smiles

From the back of a magazine

And build me a castle that's made out of glass

Of fancies that pass

Like running water in Devon streams

And I don't want to hear it

Sandcastles rise and they fall

Yeah

And I don't want to hear it

Sandcastles don't last at all

We built a place for us to run and hide

I hope it isn't washed away by the tide

Build me a castle that's handsome and grand

But made out of sand

And I don't want to hear it

Sandcastles rise and they fall

Yeah yeah

I don't want to hear it

Sandcastles rise and they fall yeah

We built a place for us to run and hide

I hope it isn't washed away by the tide

And I don't want to hear it

No no no

And I don't want to hear it

Yeah

I don't want to hear it

No no no no no

And I don't want to hear

Yeah
