Darby's Castle - Kris Kristofferson[00:00:00]
Written by:Kris Kristofferson/Bergen White[00:00:01]
See the ruin on the hill[00:00:06]
Where the smoke is hanging still[00:00:09]
Like an echo of an age long forgotten[00:00:13]
There's a story of a home[00:00:19]
Crushed beneath those blackened stones[00:00:22]
And a roof that fell before the beams were rotten[00:00:26]
See saul darby loved his wife[00:00:35]
And he laboured all his life[00:00:38]
To provide her with material possessions[00:00:41]
And he built for her a home[00:00:48]
Of the finest wood and stone[00:00:51]
And the building soon became his sole obsession[00:00:54]
Oh it took three hundred days[00:01:04]
For the timber to be raised[00:01:07]
And the silhouette was seen for miles around[00:01:10]
And the gables reached as high[00:01:16]
As the eagles in the sky[00:01:19]
But it only took one night to bring it down[00:01:23]
When darby's castle tumbled to the ground[00:01:29]
Though the shared a common bed[00:01:38]
There was precious little said[00:01:42]
In the moments that were set aside for sleeping[00:01:45]
For his busy dreams were filled[00:01:51]
With the rooms he'd yet to build[00:01:54]
And he never heard young helen darby weeping[00:01:57]
Then one night he heard a sound[00:02:06]
As he laid his pencil down[00:02:11]
And he traced it to her door and turned the handle[00:02:13]
And the pale light of the moon[00:02:19]
Through the windows of the room[00:02:22]
Split the shadows where two bodies lay entangled[00:02:25]
Oh it took three hundred days[00:02:34]
For the timber to be raised[00:02:38]
And the silhouette was seen for miles around[00:02:41]
And the gables reached as high[00:02:47]
As the eagles in the sky[00:02:50]
But it only took one night to bring it down[00:02:53]
When darby's castle tumbled to the ground[00:02:59]
