| I really wanted for her to touch her knees
|
| I really wanted to share forgotten dreams
|
| Go through the motions of loving from a far
|
| And feel as if i’m reaching for the stars
|
| But each drop of hopelessness amounts
|
| To what could be a raging sea
|
| It could be spring time i’d meet her at the gates
|
| If beauty ever comes to those who wait
|
| Castles in the air
|
| If only they were there
|
| Just like a beatnik love affair
|
| Those castles in the air
|
| So let me look into the windows of your soul
|
| Let me make the most of what i’ll never know
|
| We’ll eat forbidden fruits and sing our favourite songs
|
| And never tell each other we’re wrong
|
| Each drop of tenderness you give
|
| Would be another reason why i’d want to live
|
| Would be another chance to sit beneath the stars
|
| And whisper to each other in the dark
|
| Castles in the air
|
| If only they were there
|
| We’d be so free and unaware
|
| Watching castles in the air
|
| Why should a lonely person care
|
| What could a lonely person share
|
| A broken heart is much too hard to remend
|
| Cause beauty never comes to those who wait |
| Romance is a word
|
| That should be seen but never heard
|
| I don’t even know your name
|
| But castles in the air
|
| We were almost there
|
| We almost shared
|
| Castles in the air |
