[Verse 1:]
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, yes they do
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, yes they do

And so castles made of sand fall in the sea, eventually

[Verse 2:]
A little Indian brave who before he was ten
Played war games in the woods with his Indian friends
And he built up a dream that when he grew up
He would be a mighty warrior Indian chief
Many moons past and more the dream grew strong until
Tomorrow he would sing his first war song and fight his first battle
But something went wrong, a surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night, damn

And so castles made of sand melts into the sea, eventually

[Verse 3:]
There was a young girl, whose heart was a frown
'Cause she was crippled for life
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 have to stop, it just kept on going...

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

Castles made of
Castles made of
Castles made of sand...
