"Sand" - Tony Mason (2009)
From the album "Clever Album Title"

---

They sat alone on the beach, hand in hand, but out of reach
All the plans they'd made for years, were lost inside the trail of tears
Building castles made of sand

The fall did, he thought in time, as he explained, could not deny
The part inside that was alone, he let his heart beat, turn to stone
Everything was made of sand

Once they'd walked along this beach together
Making promises it'd be forever
She turned away, her vision blurred
She walked away without a word

How could he do these things he'd done?
And silently he watched them run away
All their lives were made of sand
And they watched him walk into the sea

Once they'd walked along this beach together
They made promises to be forever
He ran away into yesterday

So here they are, both alone
At the end of everything they'd ever known
She cried and tried to comprehend
She never wants to feel again

Everything had turned to sand
As she left the beach it was forever
All the bonds between them now were severed
They were torn in two, nothing left to do
This was the end.
