The roar of the ocean hitting the beach
carrying in bits of debris
scattering sand in all directions
knocking our sand castle into tiny bits

breaking of the waves, the gentle murmur
of the undertow tugging at our castle
smashing the walls, caving in of the roof
water invading, our own territory

I built that sand castle in my life
decorated it with tiny bits of you
now the waves or was it simply time
came along and destroyed what was mine

knocking our sand castle into tiny bits
breaking our love, just calling it quits
smashing any hopes, caving in of feeling
that's how I feel as I watch you leaving!
