Once I built a castle in the air,
A home for you and I
In a blue, blue sky.
We'd leave behind the weight of worldly care,
I thought we could fly
We only had to try.
Ah, I had to learn fast, (For your own good)
I had to learn fast
And when I knew at last (You understood)
I knew at last
Hell and heaven can be one and the same,
Ah, we had to learn fast, (For our own good)
We had to learn fast.
