Take

I really wanted for her to touch her knees

I really wanted to share forgotten dreams

Go through the motions of loving from a far

And feel as if i'm reaching for the stars

But each drop of hopelessness amounts

To what could be a raging sea

It could be spring time i'd meet her at the gates

If beauty ever comes to those who wait

Castles in the air

If only they were there

Just like a beatnik love affair

Those castles in the air

So let me look into the windows of your soul

Let me make the most of what i'll never know

We'll eat forbidden fruits and sing our favourite songs

And never tell each other we're wrong

Each drop of tenderness you give

Would be another reason why i'd want to live

Would be another chance to sit beneath the stars

And whisper to each other in the dark

Castles in the air

If only they were there

We'd be so free and unaware

Watching castles in the air

Why should a lonely person care

What could a lonely person share

A broken heart is much too hard to remend

Cause beauty never comes to those who wait

Romance is a word

That should be seen but never heard

I don't even know your name

But castles in the air

We were almost there

We almost shared

Castles in the air
