Castles
made of Sand
(Jimi Hendrix)
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
He cries
oh girl you must be mad
What happened
to the sweet love you and me had
Against
the door he leans and start 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
wargames 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
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
surprise
attack killed him in his sleep that night
And so castles
made of sand
fall in
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 livin'
so she
decide 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 |
