Darby's Castle - Steve Hofmeyr[00:00:00]

Written by：Kristoffer Kristofferson[00:00:00]

See the ruin on the hill[00:00:06]

Where the smoke is hanging still[00:00:10]

Like an echo of an age long forgotten[00:00:13]

There's a story of a home[00:00:20]

Crushed beneath those blackened stones[00:00:23]

And a roof that fell before the beams were rotten[00:00:26]

See Saul Darby loved his wife[00:00:36]

And he labored all his life[00:00:40]

To provide her with material possessions[00:00:43]

And he built for her a home[00:00:50]

Of the finest wood and stone[00:00:53]

And the building soon became his sole obsession[00:00:56]

Oh it took three hundred days[00:01:06]

For the timber to be raised[00:01:09]

And the silhouette was seen for miles around[00:01:13]

And the gables reached as high[00:01:19]

As the eagles in the sky[00:01:22]

But it only took one night to bring it down[00:01:26]

When Darby's castle tumbled to the ground[00:01:33]

Though the shared a common bed[00:01:43]

There was precious little said[00:01:46]

In the moments that were set aside for sleeping[00:01:49]

For his busy dreams were filled[00:01:56]

With the rooms he'd yet to build[00:01:59]

He never heard young Helen Darby weeping[00:02:03]

Then one night he heard a sound[00:02:12]

As he laid his pencil down[00:02:17]

And he traced it to her door and turned the handle[00:02:19]

And the pale light of the moon[00:02:26]

Through the windows of the room[00:02:29]

Split the shadows where two bodies lay entangled[00:02:32]

Oh it took three hundred days[00:02:42]

For the timber to be raised[00:02:45]

And the silhouette was seen for miles around[00:02:49]

And the gables reached as high[00:02:55]

As the eagles in the sky[00:02:59]

But it only took one night to bring it down[00:03:02]

When Darby's castle tumbled to the ground[00:03:09]
