lyrics

Can you see? Can you see?
Can you see me? I'm standing on the top of
My castle, my castle,
On the top of my castle in peace.
I thought about autumn afternoons
Walking down a street of fiery red,
Resting on velvet satellites,
Dreaming of a golden age.


By the fire you said "hold the bottle up"
"Here we are, let's toast to us"
Then the lights went out and all around went calm.
I wasn't shaking, I could move my arm.


Daybreak,
Daybreak.
Water for my thirsty throat.
I am so far,
I am so far.
I’m so far from your silky hands.
I ride alone and I can't hold a spoon, meanwhile
You sure know how to use a knife.
Sometimes sober truths are boring,
That's why I am making half this stuff up.


By the fire you said "hold the bottle up"
"Here we are, let's toast to us"
Then the lights went out and all around went calm.
I wasn't shaking, I could move my arm.
