Castles
I have built castles – I’ve played in the sand;
I’m a lonely dreamer with an empty hand;
Beneath trees I have visions that I seldom understand.
The highest songs inside of me spring from my deepest pain –
Like a pearl in an oyster or flowers in the rain;
When the wind is at my back I know I’m going the wrong way.
I never had what I wanted, but beauty came my way;
Never could see tomorrow for the blindness of today;
Love sometimes guided me, sometimes lead me astray.
I have built castles – I’ve played in the sand;
I’m a lonely dreamer with an empty hand;
Beneath trees I have visions that I seldom understand.
