[Verse 1]
         
Down the stree

t you can hear

 her scream "y

ou're a disgra

ce"
       
As she slams t

he door in his

 drunken face
    
And now he sta

nds outside
             
And all the ne

              
ighbors start 

             
to gossip and 


drool

   
He cries "Oh, 

girl you must 

be mad
     
What happened 

to the sweet l

ove you and me

 had?"
 
Against the do

or he leans an

d starts a sce

ne
             
And his tears 

             
fall and burn 

    
the garden gre

en


[Chorus 1]
             
And so castles

            
 made of sand 
             
Fall in the se

        
a, eventually


[Verse 2]
         
A little India

n brave who be

fore he was te

n
       
Played war gam

es in the wood

s with his Ind

ian friends
       
And he built a

 dream that wh

en he grew up
             
He would be a 

             
fearless warri

   
or Indian Chie

f

     
Many moons pas

t and more the

 dream grew st

ronger
            
Until tomorrow

              
 he would sing

              
 his first war

       
 song 
    
And fight his 

first battle, 

but something 

went wrong
             
Surprise attac

            
k killed him i

n his sleep th

at night


[Chorus 2]
             
And so castles

            
 made of sand 
              
Melts into the

          
 sea, eventual

ly


[Verse 3]
      
There was a yo

ung girl whose

 heart was a f

rown
             
Cause she was 


crippled for l

ife and she co

uldn't speak a

 sound
           
And she wished

              
 and prayed sh

             
e could stop l

      
ivin'
       
So she decided

 to die

             
She drew her w

heelchair to t

he edge of the

 shore
    
And to her leg

s she smiled "

You won't hurt

 me no more"
    
But then a sig

ht she'd never

 seen made her

 jump and say
            
  "Look, a gol

           
den winged shi

p is passing m

y way"


And it really didn't have to stop

It just kept on goin'


[Chorus 3]
             
And so castles

            
 made of sand 
              
Slips into the

          
 sea, eventual

ly
