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, yes they do 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, yes they do 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 up a dream that when he grew up He would be a mighty warrior Indian chief Many moons past, his dream grew strong Tomorrow he would sing his first war song and fight his first battle Something went wrong A surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night, damn And so castles made of sand melts into the sea, eventually Hear what I say (hear what I say) There was a young girl, whose heart was a frown She was crippled for life 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" 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 melts into the sea, eventually Where you're going, you'll be okay, sweet Yeah, that's the question Castles made of sand (Where are going to build your castle in the sand?) Castles made of sand (Where are going to build your castle in the sand?) Castles made of sand Castles made of sand Castles Castles Castles made of sand Castles Castles

It used to be easier to find The castles in the sky The castles in the sky The harder I look The more they hide The castles in the sky The castles in the sky You'll pay for your life! The castles in the sky (You'll pay for your life) As times change My dreams fade And all I'm chasing is shadows Of something gone to waste An empire reduced to a black space There's nothing left here But the memory of better days It used to be easier to find The castles in the sky The castles in the sky The harder I look The more they hide The castles in the sky The castles in the sky The castles in the sky Failure! The castles in the sky

From the albums DIAMOND GIRL (1973), APPETIZERS (1973) and THE SEALS & CROFTS COLLECTION (1979). Jessica, dear Jessica, forget me not and won't you try to write to me, on your wedding day? Jessica, dear Jessica, you'll look just like a painting in your dress of white as you walk away. But just remember who taught you how to kiss. I'm gonna miss you. Remember back when you were just a lonely girl, all alone in a lonely world. Did I try to care too much, or have I lost my touch? Jessica, dear Jessica, I'll dress in black and cry upon my pillow, when each day is through. Jessica, my Jessica, the flowers in the fields will bow their heads today, 'cause I'm feeling blue. But just remember who taught you how to care. And tell me where I can find the little girl I used to know so well. Could she still be around? I would give the world to know if she's still in town.
