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 NEIGHBOURS 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 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 FEARLESS WARRIOR INDIAN CHIEF
MANY MOONS PASSED AND 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
BECAUSE SHE WAS CRIPPLED FOR LIFE AND COULDN'T SPEAK A SOUND
AND SHE WISHED AND PRAYED SHE WOULD STOP LIVING
SO SHE DECIDED TO DIE
SHE DREW HER WHEEL CHAIR 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

Review about CASTLES MADE OF SAND What lyrics. | Reviewer: chris | 6/6/2007
I've been listening to this song for years. But never read those lyrics. I can't believe how profound these are. This puts hendrix over the top for me.The lyrics are full of irony. But for me, the last verse is not about the girl wanting to die as much as it is she finds a reason to live. And that the sandcastle slipping into the sea is her wish to die; she now hasa reason to live. Does anyone agree?
I like this song because of the message that it leaves you with, not all things turn out ok in the end. Most of the other songs that you hear just tell you that everything is going to be alright and nothing will ever go wrong. Everything slips away eventually "castles made of sand fall into the sea, eventually". Anothing that really touched me in this song is the last verse. "There was a young girl, who's 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 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 didnt have to stop, it just kept on going..." I would highly recomend you to listen to this song along with all of the other Jimi Hendrix songs. He was a TREMENDOUS artist!
GDAY ALL,
umm i lurvv most of hendrix songs but castles made of sand if 1 of my favorites. The undedrlying meanings and the way he describes how ironic life can be is great....heh
