Darby's Castle (达比的城堡) - Kris Kristofferson (克里斯·克里斯托佛森)[00:00:00]

See the ruin on the hill where the smoke is hanging still[00:00:06]

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

There's a story of a home crushed beneath those blackened stones[00:00:19]

And the roof which fell before the beams were rotten [00:00:25]

Cecil darby loved his wife and he laboured all his life[00:00:35]

To provide her with material possessions;[00:00:41]

And he built for her a home of the finest wood and stone[00:00:48]

And the building soon became his sole obsession[00:00:54]

Oh it took three hundred days for the timbers to be raised[00:01:01]

And the silhouette was seen for miles around;[00:01:10]

And the gables reached as high as the eagles in the sky[00:01:16]

-But it only took one night to bring it down [00:01:22]

When darby's castle tumbled to the ground [00:01:29]

Though they shared a common bed there was precious little said[00:01:38]

In the moments that were set aside for sleeping:[00:01:44]

For his busy dreams were filled with the rooms he'd yet to build[00:01:51]

And he never heard young ellen darby weeping [00:01:57]

Then one night he heard a sound as he laid his pencil down [00:02:03]

And he traced it to her door and turned the handle;[00:02:12]

And the pale light of the moon through the window of the room[00:02:18]

Split the shadows where two bodies lay entangled [00:02:24]

Oh it took three hundred days for the timbers to be raised[00:02:34]

And the silhouette was seen for miles around;[00:02:40]

And the gables reached as high as the eagles in the sky -[00:02:46]

But it only took one night to bring it down [00:02:52]

When darby's castle tumbled to the ground[00:02:58]
