She called the cops to catch the king And now it's gone, the words to say And it goes on, oh He ran away from the path Before he called on the phone before he crashed And it goes on, oh And you feel the storm arise See the rising of the tide As it crawls upon the shore And breaks your heart And the waves come rushing in Like a war you cannot win And the end is when you watch it fall apart Just like sand castles Just like sand castles The old inside the man his home Has alleged that she's been gone And it go, oh It's hard enough to heal the pain To deal with what the world took away And it go, oh And you feel the storm arise See the rising of the tide As it crawls upon the shore And breaks your heart And the waves come crashing in Like a war you cannot win And the end is when you watch it fall apart Just like sand castles Just like sand castles Just like sand castles Just like sand castles And I see now, I see alone It's hard to see it all, yeah See it all Just like sand castles Just like sand castles It's alright
