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 rooftop 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
