On the beach I build a castle Out of loneliness and sand I'm the saddest boy I know Just had to build me a wonderland 'Cause when you came by hand in hand With another guy I just could not stop those big tears Falling from my eyes
The high tides coming in Oh no no I can't stand to see my kingdom end The boys laughed at me and said Oh sad boy never be lovers by the sand
The tide came rushing in Took my poor castle out to the sea If the ocean be that strong Well then that's where I wanna be
When she reads in the paper That this same sad boy has drowned Will she laugh with him And say "That funny clown"
