the castle that we lately built
came tumbling down
it tumbled down
the castle that we lately built
lies ruined on the ground
for all the dreams we built it from
are torn apart
so torn apart
for all the dreams we built it from
lie shattered like my heart
the hill is desolate and bare
beside the sea
the silent sea
the hill is desolate and bare
and so my love
are we
I read this to the tune of “London Bridge,” perhaps because I was just improvising a song to the tune for Littler J. Mine is less moving, and would be titled “Snotty Nose” if it were worth giving a title. 🙂
Lol. It has a “Mary Had a Little Lamb” rhythm to it, no doubt.
