The Day I Knew You'd Not Come Back - The Decemberists

The day I knew you’d not come back

I built this castle out of glass

But I could never understand

Where the windows and walls began and end

No, I could never understand

Where the windows and walls began and end

I built this colonnade of sand

Stretched out like fingers from my hand

But with the waves coming in

In the morning I had to build again

And with the waves coming in

In the morning I had to build again
