Castles Made of Sand

Down the street you can hear her scream

You're a disgrace as she slams the door

in his drunken face

And now he stands outside

and all the neighbors start to gossip and drool

He cries oh girl you must be mad

What happened to the sweet love you and me had

Against the door he leans and start a scene

and his tears fall and burn the garden green

And so castles made of sand

fall in the sea

eventually

A little Indian brave who before he was ten

played wargames in the woods with his Indian friends

And he built a dream that when he grew up

he would be a fearless warrior Indian chief

Many moons past and more the dream grew strong

until tomorrow he would sing his first war song

and fight his first battle

but something went wrong

surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night

And so castles made of sand

fall in the sea

eventually

There was a young girl

whose heart was a frown

'cause she was crippled for life

and she couldn't speak a sound

and she wished and prayed

she could stop livin'

so she decide to die

She drew her wheelchair to the edge of the shore

and to her legs she smiled

You won't hurt me no more

But then a sight she'd never seen made her jump and say

Look a golden winged ship is passing my way

And it really didn't have to stop

It just kept on going

And so castles made of sand

slip into the sea

eventually
