[00:00:00] Darby's Castle - Kris Kristofferson

[00:00:01] Written by：Kris Kristofferson/Bergen White

[00:00:06] See the ruin on the hill

[00:00:09] Where the smoke is hanging still

[00:00:13] Like an echo of an age long forgotten

[00:00:19] There's a story of a home

[00:00:22] Crushed beneath those blackened stones

[00:00:26] And a roof that fell before the beams were rotten

[00:00:35] See saul darby loved his wife

[00:00:38] And he laboured all his life

[00:00:41] To provide her with material possessions

[00:00:48] And he built for her a home

[00:00:51] Of the finest wood and stone

[00:00:54] And the building soon became his sole obsession

[00:01:04] Oh it took three hundred days

[00:01:07] For the timber to be raised

[00:01:10] And the silhouette was seen for miles around

[00:01:16] And the gables reached as high

[00:01:19] As the eagles in the sky

[00:01:23] But it only took one night to bring it down

[00:01:29] When darby's castle tumbled to the ground

[00:01:38] Though the shared a common bed

[00:01:42] There was precious little said

[00:01:45] In the moments that were set aside for sleeping

[00:01:51] For his busy dreams were filled

[00:01:54] With the rooms he'd yet to build

[00:01:57] And he never heard young helen darby weeping

[00:02:06] Then one night he heard a sound

[00:02:11] As he laid his pencil down

[00:02:13] And he traced it to her door and turned the handle

[00:02:19] And the pale light of the moon

[00:02:22] Through the windows of the room

[00:02:25] Split the shadows where two bodies lay entangled

[00:02:34] Oh it took three hundred days

[00:02:38] For the timber to be raised

[00:02:41] And the silhouette was seen for miles around

[00:02:47] And the gables reached as high

[00:02:50] As the eagles in the sky

[00:02:53] But it only took one night to bring it down

[00:02:59] When darby's castle tumbled to the ground
