Sandcastles

I remember way back then
When the summer held us close
Heaven only knows how it began
With a shovel here
A handful there
Some careless fun
Some tender care
But we built it
A fortress full of fools

It was strong and it was tall
It had it all within it's walls
But there's nothing left at all
Where our castle used to be
No, nothing but the seagulls and the sea

And we just stood there as the tide
Pulled it down bits at a time
I don't think we even tried to save it
Then it was gone
Just like it had never been
Maybe we should try again someday

Just a castle in the sand
We built with loving hands
It was just a dream we had
But it was ours
And as the sea reclaims the land
So go our castles in the sand
Oh, so go our castles in the sand
