Castles Made of Sand/Little Wing
[Part 1: Castles Made of Sand]

[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
And all his 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 his fence he leans and starts a scene
And his tears fall and burn his garden green

[Chorus]
And so castles made of sand
Fall in the sea eventually

[Verse 2]
There was a young 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 fearless warrior, Indian Chief
Many moons passed, and his dream grew stronger
Until tomorrow he would sing his first war song
And fight his first battle, but something went wrong
A surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night
[Chorus]
And so castles made of sand
Melt into the sea eventually, oh

[Part 2: Little Wing]

[Verse 1]
Well she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running round
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams
And fairytales
That's all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind

[Verse 2]
When I'm sad, oh she comes to me
With a thousand smiles she gives to me free
Oh, it's alright, she said, it's alright
You can take anything you want from me
Anything
Fly on, little wing, oh
Fly on, little wing, yeah

[Part 3: Castles Made of Sand]
[Verse 3]
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 would stop living
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"
Just 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

[Chorus]
And so castles made of sand
Slips into the sea eventually, yeah
Oh
