Castles In The Sky
Liz Kay Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you ever question your life?
Do you ever wonder why?
Do you ever see in your dreams
all the castles in the sky
Oh, tell me why
do we build castles in the sky
Oh, tell me why
all the castles way up high
Please tell me why
do we build castles in the sky
Oh, tell me why
all the castles way up high
Oh, tell me why
do we build castles in the sky
Oh, tell me why
all the castles way up high
Please tell me why
do we build castles in the sky




Oh, tell me why
all the castles way up high

Not a bad cover, don't know why people are hating it so much. I still prefer the original, but this is still worthy of a listen.
