Colourfield Castles In The Air
i really wanted for her to touch her knees
i really wanted to share forgotten dreams
go through the motions of loving from a far
and feel as if i'm reaching for the stars
but each drop of hopelessness amounts
to what could be a raging sea
it could be spring time i'd meet her at the gates
if beauty ever comes to those who wait
castles in the air
if only they were there
just like a beatnik love affair
those castles in the air
so let me look into the windows of your soul
let me make the most of what i'll never know
we'll eat forbidden fruits and sing our favourite songs
and never tell each other we're wrong
each drop of tenderness you give
would be another reason why i'd want to live
would be another chance to sit beneath the stars
and whisper to each other in the dark
castles in the air
if only they were there
we'd be so free and unaware
watching castles in the air
why should a lonely person care
what could a lonely person share
a broken heart is much too hard to remend
cause beauty never comes to those who wait
romance is a word
that should be seen but never heard
i don't even know your name
but castles in the air
we were almost there
we almost shared
castles in the air
