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, yes they do

He cries, "Oh, girl, you must be mad"

"What happened to the sweet love you and me had?"

Against the door he leans and starts a scene

And his tears fall and burn the garden green, yes they do

And so castles made of sand fall in the sea, eventually

A little Indian brave who before he was ten

Played war games in the woods with his Indian friends

And he built up a dream that when he grew up

He would be a mighty warrior Indian chief

Many moons past, his dream grew strong

Tomorrow he would sing his first war song and fight his first battle

Something went wrong

A surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night, damn

And so castles made of sand melts into the sea, eventually

Hear what I say (hear what I say)

There was a young girl, whose heart was a frown

She was crippled for life

Couldn't speak a sound

And she wished and prayed she would stop living

So she decided to die

She drew her wheelchair to the edge of the shore

To her legs she smiled, "You won't hurt me no more"

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 melts into the sea, eventually

Where you're going, you'll be okay, sweet

Yeah, that's the question

Castles made of sand

(Where are going to build your castle in the sand?)
