Castle In The Clouds

Beverly Craven · Other Songs - Beverly Craven

You can waste your time building barriers
spend your life trying to break them down again
like an island in a sea that breathes revenge

When we talk sometimes you're a looking glass
every word from the blueprint of your past
in the distance there's a castle in the clouds

And our love will make us strong together
we can be in love forever
just the two of us
when I get lonely, hold me

we will understand each other
you will be my friend and lover
when we're far apart
you're in my heart I'm in your dreams

So you call a friend up for company
drown your tears at a table set for three
there's a shoulder and a change of scenery

But when you wake tomorrow you're back again
and you wonder where it's all going to end
in the distance there's a castle in the clouds

And our love will make us strong together
we can be in love forever
just the two of us
when I get lonely, hold me

We will understand each other
you will be my friend and lover
when we're far apart
you're in my heart I'm in your dreams.
