  D                 F#7       C#m5-/7 
Our little dream castle with every dream gone  
     B7              Gdim        Gm7 
Is lonely and silent  the shades are all drawn

And my heart is heavy as I gaze upon 
E A7       D

    D            F#7   C#m5-/7 
The lawn we were proud of is waving in hay

Our beautiful garden has withered away

Through every single window I see your face

But when I reach the window there's only empty space

But no one is waiting for me anymore
