Lyrics
CASTLES IN THE SAND
(Verse 1)
If only time
Could wait for you and for me
For a while
Just long enough to make us real
I might satisfy
Given half a chance
These questions in my heart
(Chorus)
Are we castles in the sand
Lovers in the rain
Will we wash away
Are we calm in the storm
Stars in bloom
May we shine someday
(Verse 2)
What will life
Take from you and from me
Is the price
Too high for this fantasy
Will it lose us
In a throw of the dice
Or beat the odds this time
(Chorus)
(Solo)
(Bridge)
Cherry eyes
Hope inside
Lost in the sunshine of our fire
Is it only me
Or can you relate
To the hurricanes we face
To the words we haven't said
Turning in my head
(Chorus)
