The Castle of Dust
There’s a tale of happiness inside my wearisome mind
I sail ashore in your heartstrings — sounds more than kind
Thanks for the handkerchief for my wondrous tears
I’ve been weeping cheer for many horrendous years
The tale of tribulation comes settling in
Where have you been? Where have you been?
Again, I’ve been searching for you in the dust
In the dust storm, I’ve lost almost all our trust
I have been settling underneath
The castle of dust, the castle of dust
Beneath the Earth’s radiant wreath
Soaring bright with wanderlust, wanderlust
I have been settling beneath
The castle of dust, the castle of dust
Underneath north’s musical sound, I breathe
Happiness is a must, hopefulness equals trust
There’s a tale of cheerfulness in the wintry air
I am snowed under by your autumn skyfall…
I must be there in your arms of merry despair
Drifting away asunder and feeling numb through it all
The tale of tribulation comes settling in
Where have you been? Where have you been?
Again, I’ve been searching for you in the dust
In the dust storm, I’ve lost almost all our trust
I have been settling underneath
The castle of dust, the castle of dust
Beneath the Earth’s radiant wreath
Soaring bright with wanderlust, wanderlust
I have been settling beneath
The castle of dust, the castle of dust
Underneath north’s musical sound, I breathe
Happiness is a must, hopefulness equals trust
Snowflakes aflame in my eyes of fearlessness…it’s so extravagant
Blowing breezes of bewilderment and it’s a ruthless sorrow oh so elegant
Knowledge overflows into the springs of the lies laid beneath
I am settling with my broken wings of flight way underneath
I’m in the castle of dust…castle of dust…castle of dust…
In my whirling, twirling tombstone of lonely wanderlust…
You’ve gained your trust
In the castle of dust…
You cave in and collide through
The wistful winds of love so true
