[00:00.00]时代音乐网 www.78497.com  [00:01.64]See the ruin on the hill [00:04.55]Where the smoke is hanging still [00:07.60]Like an echo of an age long forgotten [00:13.58]There's a story of a home [00:16.88]Crushed beneath those blackened stones [00:20.11]And a roof that fell before the beams were rotten [00:25.80]See Saul Darby loved his wife [00:29.48]And he labored all his life [00:32.73]To provide her with material possessions [00:39.25]And he built for her a home [00:42.42]Of the finest wood and stone [00:45.69]And the building soon became his sole obsession [00:51.72]Oh it took three hundred days [00:54.88]For the timber to be raised [00:58.31]And the silhouette was seen for miles around [01:04.67]And the gables reached as high [01:07.63]As the eagles in the sky [01:10.85]But it only took one night to bring it down [01:17.18]When Darby's castle tumbled to the ground [01:32.56]Though the shared a common bed [01:36.11]There was precious little said [01:39.46]In the moments that were set aside for sleeping [01:45.92]For his busy dreams were filled [01:49.13]With the rooms he'd yet to build [01:52.47]And he never heard young Helen Darby weeping [01:58.52]Then one night he heard a sound [02:02.95]As he laid his pencil down [02:05.83]And he traced it to her door and turned the handle [02:11.81]And the pale light of the moon [02:15.09]Through the windows of the room [02:17.84]Split the shadows where two bodies lay entangled [02:27.61]Oh it took three hundred days [02:30.66]For the timber to be raised [02:34.21]And the silhouette was seen for miles around [02:40.63]And the gables reached as high [02:43.61]As the eagles in the sky [02:47.11]But it only took one night to bring it down [02:53.28]When Darby's castle tumbled to the ground
