I'm an old old man now in my rocking chair
There ain't much left to do, I just sit and stare
I'm old
Gather around
Let me tell you a tale
Of an island I found
Once when I was assail
Well a little sand crab met me out on the beach
He told me 'This is the one, this is the island you seek'
'This one'
So I bid him farewell and went on my way
And on that island I stayed for over 3,000 days
Those days...
I slept in a hammock set up high off the ground
I was all on my own just tossing thoughts around
Then I got an idea to build statues of sand
Building them up with my own two hands
Just hands
After 3,000 days, there was a city of sand
But it wasn't something that was made for man
Just crabs…
