This Castle Built On Sand
This castle built on sand
wouldn't stand the wind of the bay,
or the waves anyhow...
It wasn't built in a minute;
it took many days
to erect it from the earth...
Ah, real trust starts in the eyes!
Wouldn't a lie tear down...
this castle built on sand?
Untrustworthy eyes of Eve,
temptation ends here;
no desire I will grant now...
A castle is a fortress
to guard love's sweetness,
and defend it from your lies...
Step on the serpent which creeps,
take away those lips;
I would like to live, not die...
This castle built on sand,
was made by a dream;
not by hands fearing the sea...
