Castle Walls - Rick Miller

The light’s fading from my eyes, the evening is calling\nThe sun slowly disappears in a blood red sea\nThe moon casts a silver veil, it’s eyes are upon me\nThe earth turns a ghostly pale, it sighs with the breeze\nI don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve thought about you\nThose dreams, the visions I’ve seen are locked in the past\nBut time can still shed a light, through darkness and shadows\nYour ghost calls to me every night, and I must obey\nI live behind castle walls, the daylight forsaken\nThe darkness my only true friend, whose heart I have taken\nMy dreams are the only escape, as they lie in waiting\nThe screaming of souls at night, I dare not awaken\nWhat draws a man to the dark when light’s all around him?\nLike flying too close to the sun, it burns through his soul\nI live behind castle walls, the daylight forsaken\nThe darkness my only true friend, whose heart I have taken\nI wander down these darkened halls, old memories lie waiting\nThey hide like a thief in the night, I dare not awake them\nThe light’s fading from my eyes, the evening is calling\nThe clouds trace across the sky, they follow the breeze
