” smoothing out the sand that had washed off the facade.”

A facade. Such a fitting tribute.

DNC Erecting Creepy Giant Obama Sculpture

Speaking of creepy that is part of the lyrics of 'Mr. Sandman' and so fitting!

Mr. Sandman, someone to dread
Someone who's creepy and after my head
So please turn on your magic beams Mr. Sandman
bring us
Please, please, please Mr. Sandman
Bring us a dream
