Sandcastles

A ship took off in the night Left you on your own Just a castaway, far away from home All the castles you built, you built with sand Now they're slipping away through the cracks in your hands I'll be honest with you This won't be easy on you You can take heart, my friend It will not be in vain Although there's clouds ahead And it's about to rain If you can wait it out You'll see the sky is blue And all the love you gave, it will come back to you Waves upon the rocks Keep you up at night And the ship you missed, now beyond your sight The ground at your feet It's not the only shore You can cross the sea when you find a door I'll be honest with you This won't be easy on you You can take heart, my friend It will not be in vain Although there's clouds ahead And it's about to rain If you can wait it out You'll see the sky is blue And all the love you gave, it will come back to you It will not be in vain It will come back to you It will not be in vain It will come back to you It will not be in vain It will come back to you It will not be in vain It will come back to you It will not be in vain It will come back to you It will not be in vain It will come back to you It will not be in vain It will come back to you It will not be in vain It will come back to you You can take heart, my friend It will not be in vain Although there's clouds above And it's about to rain If you can wait it out You'll see the sky is blue And all the love you gave, it will come back to you It will come back to you It will come back to you It will come back to you
