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]
