JIMI HENDRIX - Castle Made Of Sand lyrics

rate me

DOWN THE STREET YOU CAN HEAR HER SCREAM<br />

"YOU'RE A DISGRACE"<br />

AS SHE SLAMS THE DOOR IN HIS DRUNKEN FACE<br />

AND NOW HE STANDS OUTSIDE <br />

AND ALL THE NEIGHBOURS START TO GOSSIP AND DROOL<br />

<br />

HE CRIES "OH GIRL, YOU MUST BE MAD <br />

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SEET LOVE YOU AND ME HAD"<br />

AGAINST THE DOOR HE LEANS AND STARTS A SCENE <br />

AND HIS TEARS FALL AND BURN THE GARDEN GREEN<br />

<br />

AND SO CASTLES MADE OF SAND,<br />

FALL IN THE SEA EVENTUALLY<br />

<br />

A LITTLE INDIAN BRAVE WHO BEFORE HE WAS TEN<br />

PLAYED WAR GAMES IN THE WOODS WITH HIS INDIAN FRIENDS<br />

AND HE BUILT A DREAM THAT WHEN HE GREW UP <br />

HE WOULD BE A FEARLESS WARRIOR INDIAN CHIEF<br />

<br />

MANY MOONS PASSED AND THE DREAM GREW STRONG UNTIL TOMORROW<br />

HE WOULD SING HIS FIRST WAR SONG<br />

AND FIGHT HIS FIRST BATTLE BUT SOMETHING WENT WRONG<br />

SURPRISE ATTACK KILLED HIM IN HIS SLEEP THAT NIGHT<br />

<br />

AND SO CASTLES MADE OF SAND<br />

MELTS INTO THE SEA EVENTUALLY <br />

<br />

THERE WAS A YOUNG GIRL WHOSE HEART WAS A FROWN<br />

BECAUSE SHE WAS CRIPPLED FOR LIFE AND COULDN'T SPEAK A SOUND<br />

AND SHE WISHED AND PRAYED SHE WOULD STOP LIVING<br />

SO SHE DECIDED TO DIE<br />

SHE DREW HER WHEEL CHAIR TO THE EDGE OF THE SHORE<br />

AND TO HER LEGS SHE SMILED <br />

"YOU WON'T HURT ME NO MORE"<br />

BUT THEN A SIGHT SHE'D NEVER SEEN MADE HER JUMP AND SAY<br />

"LOOK A GOLDEN WINGED SHIP IS PASSING MY WAY"<br />

AND IT REALLY DIDN'T HAVE TO STOP<br />

IT JUST KEPT ON GOING<br />

<br />

AND SO CASTLES MADE OF SAND<br />

SLIPS INTO THE SEA EVENTUALLY
