Castles Made Of Sand

Down the Fstreet you can hear her scream "you're a disgrace"
As she Amslams the door in his drunken face
And Em7now he stands outside
And all the Fneighbors start to Cgossip and Gdrool
He Fcries "Oh, girl you must be mad
What Amhappened to the sweet love you and me had?"
Em7Against the door he leans and starts a scene
And his Ftears fall and Cburn the Ggarden green
And so Gcastles made of Dsand
Fall in the Fsea, eventCually
A little FIndian brave who before he was ten
Played Amwar games in the woods with his Indian friends
And he Em7built a dream that when he grew up
He would Fbe a fearless Cwarrior GIndian Chief
Many Fmoons past and more the dream grew stronger
Until Amtomorrow he would sing his first war song
And Em7fight his first battle, but something went wrong
SurFprise attack Ckilled him Gin his sleep that night
And so Gcastles made of Dsand
Melts into the Fsea, eventCually
There Fwas a young girl whose heart was a frown
Cause she was Amcrippled for life and she couldn't speak a sound
And she Em7wished and prayed she could stop Flivin'C
So she Gdecided to die
She drew her Fwheelchair to the edge of the shore
And Amto her legs she smiled "You won't hurt me no more"
But Em7then a sight she'd never seen made her jump and say
F"Look, a Cgolden winged Gship is passing my way"
And it really didn't have to stop
It just kept on goin'
And so Gcastles made of Dsand
Slips into the Fsea, eventCually
