Mansions In The Sand Lyrics

The summer on the docks
Remember all we did
And all those things you said
That they're not so long ago
When we were kidsI used to drive around
In the summer late
I rolled the windows down
And laughed
And listening to that sound
Old box of tapesAnd there's so much sound
And the waves are breaking
Oh my heart is taking all she can
Come one day down to wash away
All those crumbling mansions on the sandI've seen the neighborhood
I get a splash of paint
And fix the rotten wood
You know there's so much here the sun has caused to fadeAnd there's so much change
And the waves are breaking

Oh my heart has taken all she can
Come one day down to wash away
All those crumbling mansions on the sandAnd I'll try to wrap my arms around the sea
Well I'll try to hold the surf back and the tide
Well I'm holding on to something that can't be
No matter how I tryAnd there's so much change
And the waves are breaking
And my heart had taken all she can
Come one day down to wash away
All those crumbling mansions on the sandThe summer on the docks
Remember all we did
And all those things you said back then
They're not so long ago
When we were kids
