It's a big house on a hilltop Fine carpets on the floor Expensive polished marble Are the steps up to the door Vines are climbing up to the roof top As if there's something they'd like to hide People call it the Fool's Castle And I'm the fool that lives inside The girl is gone that warmed the castle Now it's dark the flame has died It's a big house on a hilltop Without love and without pride People call it the Fool's Castle And I'm the fool that lives inside She used to live here I thought she was lucky She had what most girls only dream of I gave her diamonds silk and satin I gave her everything but love And with my giving I gave her nothing She wanted only to be by my side Yes they call it the Fool's Castle And I'm the fool that lives inside The girl is gone that warmed the castle Now it's dark the flame has died It's a big house on a hilltop Without love and without pride People call it the Fool's Castle And I'm the fool that lives inside
