FOOL'S CASTLE
|
(Tommy Collins)

¡ì ¨Ï '66 Red River Songs, BMI ¡í

|
It's a big house on a hilltop fine carpets on the floor
|
Expensive polished marble are the steps up to the door
|
Vines are climbin' up to the roof top as if there's something they'd like to hide
|
People call it a Fool's Castle and I'm the fool that lives inside
|
The girl is gone that warmed the castle now it's dark the flame has died
|
It's a big house on a hilltop without love and without pride
|
People call it a Fool's Castle and I'm the fool that lives inside
|
She used to live here I thought she was lucky
|
she had what most girls only dream of
|
I gave her diamonds silk and satin I gave her everything but love
|
And with my giving I gave her nothing she wanted only to be by my side
|
Yes they call it a Fool's Castle and I'm the fool that lives inside
|
The girl is gone that warmed the castle...
