Castles In The Sand Lyrics - Singles - Dreamgale

See this beautiful place 

Beyond time and space 

That shines of glory and grace. 

It holds a reason to live and 

Something good to believe in 

And love to embrace. 

You thought youd found what youve been longing for all your life, 

A velvet dream that kept you warm and helped you stay alive. 

Yet theres a bitter truth you know but fear to say it aloud - 

The day will come and you will feel its time to give it all up. 

Its only 

One more thing to say goodbye to, 

One more memory to fade in time. 

On a cold winter day 

When life seemed pointless and grey 

Three children gathered to play. 

The game enchanted their minds 

And brought a sense to their lives. 

They played it hours away. 

It was the symbol of their friendship and their guiding light. 

They made a promise to each other then to stay allied 

For all eternity, to keep on playing day and night. 

But once they grew up they got down to earth afraid of height. 

It was just 

One more thing to say goodbye to, 

One more memory. 

A man with scientific lust 

Researched the ashes and dust 

To find a key to the past. 

To ease a neurotic strife, 

The greatest work of his life 

He had completed at last. 

But though the mysteries were solved and truth was free to fly, 

He found it cannot change the world however hard you try. 

The course of history forever will remain a lie. 

The past is gone and youre not blessed before the day you die. 

Its only 

One more thing to say goodbye to, 

One more memory. 

One more squad of false illusions, 

Washed away like castles in the sand.
