Up to my neck, prouder than before,
I made a castle right up to the sky.
Looking down as we stand on a cliff edge,
paradise is right below our eyes.
Covered in salt we headed to the bottom,
flicking through records on the floor,
rows and rows, it's getting pretty weird,
I always thought they were seashells,
I'm sure.
In came the crowd,
running through the sand,
my palace fell, it came tumbling down.
My Dad took me into a real castle,
to make me see that nobody's got me down.
Oh but a dream, it stays with me,
who knows where it goes,
I don't know.
