Castle Walls

from Heart of Darkness by Rick Miller

/

lyrics

Flying too close to the sun on wings of feathers and wax.

The light’s fading from my eyes, the evening is calling.
The sun slowly disappears in a blood red sea.
The moon casts a silver veil, it’s eyes are upon me.
The earth turns a ghostly pale, it sighs with the breeze.

I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve thought about you.
Those dreams, the visions I’ve seen are locked in the past.
But time can still shed a light, through darkness and shadows,
Your ghost calls to me every night, and I must obey.

I live behind castle walls, the daylight forsaken.
The darkness my only true friend, whose heart I have taken.
My dreams are the only escape, as they lie in waiting.
The screaming of souls at night, I dare not awaken.

What draws a man to the dark when light’s all around him?
Like flying too close to the sun, it burns through his soul.

I live behind castle walls, the daylight forsaken.
The darkness my only true friend, whose heart I have taken.
I wander down these darkened halls, old memories lie waiting.
They hide like a thief in the night, I dare not awake them.

The light’s fading from my eyes, the evening is calling.
The clouds trace across the sky, they follow the breeze.
