Castles Made of Sand 2 Songtext
von 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 starts a scene
And his tears fall and burn on the garden green

And so castles made of sand fall in the sea
Eventually

A little Indian brave who, 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 fierce warrior Indian Chief


Many moons passed, 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 melts into 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 living
So she decided to die

She drove 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 ever stop
It just kept on going

And so castles made of sand slips into the sea
Eventually
