Love can make a castle From the sands of time A brown paper parcel Full of nursery rhymes Existential knick-knack's Sitting on a shelf Talking to a mirror Talking to himself Lots of little footprints Shaped like a silver spoon Running in and out of rainbows Splashing through the moon Reflected in the meadow's early evening dew Ah, but I'm in love with you And then we open up our eyes To see the clouds go rolling by And then the sun comes shining through Oh my love, how I love you The stars are in the trees To sing the birds to sleep And asking all the rooftops "Is there a chimney sweep?" We can't see in the houses If the chimney's blocked Is she ironing trousers? Is she darning socks? We don't know if she's happy We don't know if she's sad Surely washing nappies can't be all that bad Compared to what old age and loneliness can do If someone's still in love with you And then we open up our eyes To see the clouds go rolling by And then the sun comes shining through Oh my love, how I love you Oh my love, how I love you
