Castles Made Of Sand Songtext / Lyric

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 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 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 passed
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 decided 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 din't have to stop
It just kept on going

And so castles made of sand
Slip into the sea
Eventually
