Castles in the Air

When the day turned into night

When the stars run out of light

Will you be there to sing my song

I call your name

To maybe shield the flame

Cause the night is dark and long

In the kingdom of the visible

In the kingdom of the sun

Was a man who saw the years go by

He was always on the run

And the clock ticks fast for everyone

Father time wins every race

And the kingdom of the fading sun

It’ll pass without a trace

Our castles in the air

We build them in despair

But maybe there is no one to answer your prayer

Our castles in the air

We build them in despair

But you can help me smile on this road to nowhere

There’s a small black hole inside my heart

And it’s just the size of you

And the road goes on forevermore

And we will turn to dust

Holding on to hope against the hope

While the silence rages on

We would like to try to shield the flame

While we climb a burning rope

Our castles in the air

We build them in despair

But maybe there is no one to answer your prayer

Our castles in the air

We build them in despair

But you can help me smile on this road to nowhere

When the day turned into night

When the stars run out of light

Will you be there to sing my song

I call your name

To maybe shield the flame

Cause the night is dark and long
