lyrics

The king sat down on the soft shifting sand
He put on his crown and he raised up his hand
Lost in delusion and mad with conceit
He ordered the incoming tide to retreat
The sea washed over his feet

We sat down on the warm golden strand
And we built castles from sea shells and sand
Driftwood and feathers, seaweed and twine
Things that we found on the high water line
Stones that glisten and shine

Chorus
Time can’t be measured on sandcastle days
You catch your breath and it’s stolen away
Gone with the children when sun turned to rain
We lose them so quickly
We never can build them again
Years come and go in the flow of the tide
The future will find you there’s nowhere to hide
Hold your hand up, the wind laughs in your face
The rolling white horses
Will take away every last trace

A man sits down on the rocks all alone
Just like that king on his cold granite throne
Sandcastles crumble and seagulls take flight
Sad silhouettes in the fast fading light
Washed away in the night
