Once I built a castle in the air, |
|
A home for you and I- |
|
In a blue, blue sky. |
|
We'd leave behind the weight of worldly care, |
|
I thought we could fly |
|
We only had to try. |
|
Ah, I had to learn fast, (For your own good) |
|
I had to learn fast |
|
And when I knew at last (You understood) |
|
I knew at last |
|
Hell and heaven can be one and the same, |
|
If you don't know how |
|
You should know by now, |
|
Every pleasure always holds an equal amount of pain |
|
But it all works out, |
|
I have no doubt. |
|
Ah, we had to learn fast, (For our own good) |
|
We had to barn fast. |
|
And when we knew at last (When we understood) |
|
We knew at last |
|
Every kite has got to have a string for it to fly |
|
Up to who knows where ? |
|
Castles in the air. |
|
So there are strings attached to you and I |
|
Though they hold us tight |
|
We can take flight. |
