Castles
Words and Music by The Buoys (C-Sharp Music Pub. / Our Children’s Music) (BMI)

High on a hill in St. Gerard’s castle
A fair young maiden with stars for her eyes
And David has traveled across the channel
Seeking young maiden for else she might die

To live is to love, but what’s that you say
David’s blood cannot flow through
If Mary shan’t marry the duke of yon castle
All in her death, David ‘twas you

Castles are burning
Flames scorch the sky
Lords come for judging
Ask yourself why

There once was a tale of a fair young maiden
And of her love whose life he gave
Now as the silhouettes cast o’er the courtyard
Reflecting the lights upon their grave
