lyrics

Look from the castle walls, look from the castle walls
At how the sunlight falls, at how the sunlight falls
On sleeping mountains green, on sleeping mountains green
And spider webs in the breeze, the spider webs in the breeze

Where did you come from my dear?
We are all inventions of here

I hear the valley horns, I hear the valley horns
If only we were born, if only we were born
Three hundred years ago, three hundred years ago,
All dressed in clothes of old, all dressed in clothes of old

We’ve been playing this day’s role
For the night, forget your modern soul
Follow me to somewhere else in time

Gold coins and war machines, gold coins and war machines
Tales of the kings and queens, tales of the kings and queens
Attending carnivals, attending carnivals
Oh how remarkable, oh how remarkable

I would like to start afresh
But I am just young mortal flesh
It’s all a hopeless dream of being

Here we stand on ancient stone
And all the dreams of long ago
