Preston D Barnes - Castles on Quicksand Lyrics

Well I could love you baby but it's a fact
When I get too close you pull right back
Your hands get cold and your eyes get sad
I guess somebody must'a hurt you real bad
With a nervous laugh I can see you try
To cover the hurt and try to justify
You'd better let go real soon baby
You can't build Castles on Quicksand
You can't build bridges on thin air
You can't paper over the cracks of a broken heart
And pretend it's not there
You gotta let the storm break baby
You gotta let the rain fall all around
And when your tears run dry maybe then you can try
To start all over again
Well I could try to push I could try to shove
But there's a great big wall in the way of love
It's time to face facts and purge your pain
Get those tracks back under your train
I see you run and I see you hide
Try to cover what you're feeling inside
But I know you like me baby
You can't build Castles on Quicksand
You can't build bridges on thin air
You can't paper over the cracks of a broken heart
And pretend it's not there
You gotta let the storm break baby
You gotta let the rain fall all around
And when your tears run dry maybe then you can try
To start all over again
Castles on Quicksand
Castles on Quicksand
Bridges on thin air
You're standing on shaky ground
You're building on thin air
You gotta let the storm break baby
You gotta let the rain fall all around
And when your tears run dry maybe then you can try
To start all over again
Castles on Quicksand
Bridges on thin air
You can't paper over the cracks of a broken heart
And pretend it's not there
You gotta let the storm break baby
You gotta let the rain fall all around
And when your tears run dry maybe then you can try
To start all over again
