July breeze is calling me From fast asleep I'm on my feet Over the lands, under our wheels From shifting nails, umbrella seas The wooden walk we'd run Mapping out the day Following the sun We'd build sandcastles We'd build sandcastles Knowing that they wash away We'd build sandcastles We'd build sandcastles Knowing that they wash away Panning for gold, in riverbeds "Don't feed the birds." my mother said And in the dunes, where lovers meet We'd wake the dead, my cousin screams We wouldn't walk we'd run Mapping out the day Hiding from the sun We'd build sandcastles We'd build sandcastles Knowing that they wash away We'd build sandcastles We'd build sandcastles Knowing that they wash away Wash away We'd build sandcastles We'd build sandcastles Knowing that they wash away Build sandcastles Knowing that they wash away
