castle in the sky

Castle in the sky

As I open my eyes each morning to start my day
there is always one thought that comes to mind
although it's hard for me this way
I always think of her, seek her but not find

I go on with my routine chores and such
but the thought of her never leaves
the thought of fer gentle touch
the image of her that my mind weaves

the sound of her laughter lingers,
in my head I could smell her
on my hair, how she runs her fingers
and her love I seek like air

in her deep shallow waters I breath
in their vast closed spaces I'm chokin'
in my house of loneliness I bleed
but to her my sorrow i haven't spoken

as I lay my head to sleep each night
thoughts of her again are active
thought I miss her I still fight
the thought of going back to the life we live

and in half asleep state I think
'bout tomorrow and how I would spend it
and I fall asleep with a blink
but tomorrow I still strive not quit

though it's all the same each day I try
and still go on searching for better days
though it makes me want to cry
all I can do is hope and pray
that what I did could make us fly
across the seas and around the way
to find our way to our castle in the sky
and this is just one of the prices to pay
