Left, right, left was the pace of my steps As I wrestled with a riddle that was making my mind twitch It was spring in November Air was full of regret I said think baby, think baby, how can I change this? Do do do do... I passed a woman on the church steps by the side of the street She had coins in her cup, a child's hand on her cheek I said think baby, think baby, how can I change this? Took the long way home then went to sleep restless And I dreamt of a castle rich and bright And everyone in it was filled with light You'll never know the answer if you stop trying Like bobby says, 'if you ain't busy living your busy dying' Whoever tells you its pointless, well, they're lying And if that who is you, then you should change your mind Start Building a castle, don't sit and cry Because heartache is a hassle and a waste of time Bless the genies and the meanies And the everyone in between'ies All the comings and the goings Of the fathers and the thieves All the freakers and the teachers All the girls dying to please All the movers and the shakers The ones with scratches on their knees Start building a castle, don't sit and cry Because heartache is a hassle and a waste of time
