Castles In The Sand Lyrics - Silver Spoon

The colors of the winter melt into the sea 

The walkers and their pimps are back out on the streets 

I look out thru the window to the theater of this town 

A memory of sorrow is aching like a wound 

The heroes of the past are dying one by one 

Their music now unheard, their voices now undone 

Their names fading away like a castle in the sand 

and all that is now left is the dust in our hands 

And I don't know what has become 

of all our dreams, of all our songs 

they seem to get lost in the way 

or exchanged for roles in someone's cage 

The children of today made heroes of their own 

They too will be forgotten as some will take 'em on 

this circle of illusion, it never stops to spin 

the fate of our beliefs is at the mercy of a whim 

The color of your hands has paled with the years 

the lines around your mouth bear witness to your fears 

And yet you look the same to me, in the mirror of my eyes 

the beauty of your spirit will never really die 

And I don't know what has become 

of all our dreams, of all our songs 

they seem to get lost in the way 

or exchanged for roles in someone's cage
