Castles Made Of Sand lyrics

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 neighbours 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 starts 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 war games 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 passed and 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

Melts into the sea eventually

There was a young girl whose heart was a frown

Because she was crippled for life and couldn't speak a sound

And she wished and prayed she would stop living

So she decided to die

She drew her wheel chair 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

Slips into the sea eventually
