Castles

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Castles of grey that stand in a wilderness Dwellings are few in recent of years Solid gold rings and vintage apéritifs Flowed from the cups while princes sent cheers [Chorus 1] And jesters sang songs of happiness Tenderness and love And fair maidens dance and were full of cheer All the year in love [Verse 2] Now in the castles, nothing stirs, not a sound Gay fools are vast and shattered mosaic Bakers of many, flowerbeds tower sheds Stand by the path that leads to the lake [Chorus 2] Where jesters sang songs of happiness Tenderness and love And fair maidens dance and were full of cheer All the year in love [Chorus 3] And jesters sang songs of happiness Tenderness and love And fair maidens dance and were full of cheer All the year in love
