Castles

I'm free to go

There's no more need to stay

Throw away the works of years

And return to Adam's way

Retreat from shadow

To dabble baths and sun bleached joys

Live it out on an island in the mind

Untouched by human flaws

I'm free to go

There's nothing in my way

Up above the rainbow's end

The gold all melts away

Return a hero

From distant lands of fight and fire

Escape into the piece in my mind

And climbing higher and higher

I nearly made it that time

I nearly got away

I nearly made it that time

But I always have to stay

I'm throwing out my tickets

To the outside world

Lost interest in a drama

Which is destined to unfold

I'm heading out for the shores

Of a friendly land

Where every grain of sand

Reaches out to shake me

By the hand

I nearly made it that time

I nearly got away

I nearly made it that time

But I always have to stay
