Sandcastles - A Firm Handshake

If it’s a rainy day, you can just drive away

But it’s sunny outside so we might as well stay

Well I’ll collect some shells

And you move the sand

We’ll build our little sandcastle in a far off land

Where no one gets hurt and no one dies

And your tears are scared of leaving your eyes

So grab the shovel and start diggin' deep

‘Cause our little sandcastle is all we can keep

In our little sandcastle we’ll have a swimming pool

A great big tower and maybe a chicken coop

We can run around playin' tag in the yard

Oh why does this place have to be so far?

Well the east wing is done

And now for the west

We should build a few more rooms for our friends and guests

When we finally finish the north and the south

I’ll show you why I chose you and why you are mine

‘Cause your ears are like the shells I found

They listen to my soul

Your eyes reflect the water and our little sandcastle seems real

I want to leave this world and go to a place where

No one gets hurt and no one dies and

Your tears are scared of leaving your eyes

So grab the shovel and start digging deep

‘Cause our little sandcastle is all we can keep

Our little sandcastle will probably never exist

But I like to dream and build our lives in it

And I’m sorry for never finishing our room

I didn’t have enough time to make it as beautiful as you

When I lay my head to rest tonight

I’ll be dreaming of our little sandcastle life

Where we’ll never get hurt and never die

And our eyes will refuse to let us cry

No one gets hurt and no one dies

And your tears are scared of leaving your eyes

So grab the shovel and start diggin' deep

‘Cause our little sandcastle is all we can keep
