Castles Made of Sand

Down the street you can hear her scream, "You're a disgrace,"

as she slams the dooor 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 Inidan chief.

Many moons past and more the dream grew stronger,

until tomorrow he would sing his first war song

and made his first battle but something went wrong

suprise 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

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

And she wished and prayed she could stop living, 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 didn't haver to stop.

It just kept on going.

And so castles made of sand slips into the sea eventually.
