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
|
