[Lyric] Castles In The Air (Pert Near Sandstone)

[Verse]
Send my letter back home
Tell her I’ll think about her
When I find where I’m going
I’ll plant a bed of flowers
Where I can rest my head
And lay out every night
Like I did as a kid
In my garden of delight

[Verse]
In my younger days
I couldn't show my heart
Before I strayed away
And we grew apart
If I was wiser might have
Stayed close to home
Grown a little family
And a garden of my own

[Chorus]
I wish I could have all the silver
I put in my mother’s hair
And all the hours that
I spent in the flowers
Watching the clouds
Building castles in the air
They've blown away from here
[Verse]
You can’t pick a flower
And expect it not to wilt
You can’t leave your family
Without a painful guilt
But I’d walk through a bog
A forest full of thorns
If I could only find my
Bed of flowers once more

[Verse]
In memory everything’s easy
A simple life and story
The telephone there never rings
Time doesn't mean a thing
I tried to hide away
Deep into the mountains
Now those castles in the air
I'm no longer counting

[Chorus]
I wish I could have all the silver
I put in my mother’s hair
And all the hours that
I spent in the flowers
Watching the clouds
Building castles in the air
They've blown away from here
