Lyrics:
Oh you can take a whole lot of sand And build a castle on the beach And though you mould it and you plan Still you got nothing in your reach
1. One little slip and it tumbles down One wrong step and it crumbles all around Like a house without love, that's sure to fall apart A house of sand is an empty work of art
Or you can build a tower of clay But if you ask my advice Well it is worthless as I say It's got no heart it's cold as ice
1. 1. (repeat) A house of sand is an empty work of art
A house of sand is an empty work of art
