Ampersand
He flies kites as she builds castles in the sand A tower falls, he bends to lend a hand Hours pass, the tide rolls back, and soon their castles flat Leaving one lopsided plastic flag On the spot, he starts to jot their names down with a branch And with a smile she adds an ampersand As they walk away her family beckons from the van And she leaves him with one last fleeting glance As spirits swell, the wedding bells sing, 'la-da-de-da-da-dai' A tear falls from her father's eye He says, 'live like you'll be gone tomorrow love with all your might and all the rest will come in time.' He lies fast asleep She sits there by his side A tissue box sits bare Her tear ducts dry A nearby clock is ticking towards Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com an early morning sky and it won't stop no matter how she tries Across the room a TV's selling things she'd never buy Without the sound it all looks like some silly pantomime And all at once she feels like this is someone else's life as if she's looking in from the outside We seldom know it's time to go Until we close our eyes But everybody goes and that's no surprise The world it turns The fire burns And we can only try to make the best of our time
