Shawn Mullins - Darby's Castle lyrics
See the ruin on the hill where the smoke is hangin still like an echo of an age long forgotten there's a story of a home crushed beneath those blackened stones and the roof that fell before the beams were rotten Cecil Darby loved his wife and he labored all his life to provide her with material possessions and he built for her a home of the finest wood and stone and the building soon became his sole obsession CHORUS oh it took 300 days for the timbers to be raised and the silhouette was seen from miles around and the gables reached as high as the eagles in the sky but it only took one night to bring it down when Darby's castle tumbled to the ground though they shared a common bed there was precious little said in the moments that were set aside for sleepin' for his busy dreams were filled with the rooms he'd yet to build and he never heard young Helen Darby weepin' then one night he heard a sound as he layed his pencil down and traced it to her door and turned the handle and the pale light of the moon through the window of the room split the shadows where two bodies lay entangled REPEAT CHORUS |
