lyrics
you dressed up for our afternoon together
you left your umbrella at the door
we sought out the shelter of a coffee shop and found out what earl grey is for
you told me your were sick and tired of loneliness
you told me that you'd build something new
i told you i'd help build your castle in the clouds if i could only rent one room
you agreed and we were off to cut our stone
straight and smooth to keep out the wind
i brought back marble for the floors
only the best for a friend
i waited for you to come back and piece together loneliness with me
you never showed
you kept on cutting stone for your private wing
you ordered carpet for the floors
i surprised you with an unannounced visit
i thought that you might be glad to see
how i've grown and still stayed the same
just like our favorite tree
now i'm gone and it's easier for you to see me as a blessing in the dark
but you never showed it when i was there except for your weakest smile
i waited for you to come back and piece together loneliness with me
you never showed
you kept on cutting stone for your private wing
you ordered carpet for the floors
i waited for you to come back and piece together loneliness with me
you never showed
you kept on cutting stone for your private wing with the locked, oak, bolted doors
