Castles Made Of Sand (Live)

[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

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, burn the garden green

[Chorus 1]

And so, castles made of sand

Fall in the sea, eventually

[Verse 2]

Was an Indian, brave, too, 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

'Til tomorrow, he would sing his first war song

Fought his first battle, but somethin' went wrong

Surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night

[Chorus 2]

And so, castles made of sand

Fall in the sea, eventually

[Break]

Take it, Johnny!

[Verse 3]

There was a young girl whose heart was a frown

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

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 goin'

[Chorus 3]

And some castles made of sand

Sl-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-lipped in the sea, yeah, eventually
