On the beach I build a castle
Out of loneliness and sand
I'm the saddest boy I know
Just had to build me a wonderland
'Cause when you came by hand in hand
With another guy
I just could not stop those big tears
Falling from my eyes
The high tides coming in
Oh no no I can't stand to see my kingdom end
The boys laughed at me and said
Oh sad boy never be lovers by the sand
The tide came rushing in
Took my poor castle out to the sea
If the ocean be that strong
Well then that's where I wanna be
When she reads in the paper
That this same sad boy has drowned
Will she laugh with him
And say "That funny clown"
The lyrics SAD BOY of STEVIE WONDER is also present in the album Stevie at the beach (1964)
