Castle Songtext
von Christopher Paul Stelling

May there be no remorse here for the patience you have shown
Save the satisfaction of knowing your house is made of stone
But who you going and kidding yourself man
You know you ain′t got no house at all

You're gonna sleep under the skye tonight
Where that green grass grows tall
Come on let′s sleep under the sky tonight
Well beyond these castle walls

Well the hangman woke and made his bed
When the gallows they did call
Said he'd like to keep things tidy
Before the ground beneath him falls
That way next time he come round through these parts again
He'll have a place to rest his head

Bet it sure do get exhausting coming back again to live amongst the dead
May there be no remorse here for the patience that you have shown
Save the satisfaction of knowing your house is made of stone
But who′re you going and kidding yourself man
You ain′t got no house at all


Gonna sleep under the sky tonight
Where that green grass grows tall
Come on let's sleep under the sky tonight
Well beyond these castle walls

The jester′s crying to himself in the east tower of the castle
With a razor to his wrist, he's so sick of getting hassled
Then he recalled this punchline he′d forgotten
From way on way back when
Hate to think but what without a little humor
That situation could have been

But may there be no remorse here for the patience you have shown
Save the satisfaction of knowing that your house is made of stone
But who're you goin′ and kid'n yourself though man
You ain't got no house at all

Gonna sleep under the sky tonight
Where that green grass grows tall
Come on let′s sleep under the sky tonight
Well beyond these castle walls


The old king knew he′d find himself finished without a son
Already had himself four daughters with wife number one
He's hoping wife number two I′ll give him that baby boy
Of his aching hearts desire
Swears if he don't get his way this time
He′ll set his whole kingdom on up fire

But may there be no remorse here for the patience you have shown
Save the satisfaction of knowing that your house is made of stone
But who're you goin′ and kid'n yourself though man
You ain't got no house at all

Gonna sleep under the sky tonight
Where that green grass grows tall
Come on let′s sleep under the sky tonight
Well beyond these castle walls

Yes, sleep under the sky tonight
And forget about it all
