Slow Down at the Castle

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Slow down at the castle Things to straighten in her head And she knows it's not a castle But that's what they've always said [Verse 2] Shaded by the tower As she clambers to her seat With the ash of last night's party Clinging grimly to her feet [Chorus] Not for the first time She's made her bed Now she leaves that all behind And turns her mind to playful things instead [Verse 3] Days spent making stories For the faces that pass by From the lonely tea shop owner To the misbehaving wife [Verse 4] Now they're growing ever wilder As the people start to go Now she dreams that there's assassins Hiding in the woods below [Chorus] Not for the first time She's made her bed Now she leaves that all behind And turns her mind to playful things instead [Outro] And she knows this must end As the long shadows start to blend She must be on her way
