Lyrics Darby's Castle - Shawn Mullins
See
the
ruin
on
the
hill
Where
the
smoke
is
hangin
still
Like
an
echo
of
an
age
long
forgotten
Theres
a
story
of
a
home
Crushed
beneath
those
blackened
stones
And
the
roof
that
fell
before
the
beams
were
rotten
Cecil
Darby
loved
his
wife
And
he
labored
all
his
life
To
provide
her
with
material
possessions
And
he
built
for
her
a
home
Of
the
finest
wood
and
stone
And
the
building
soon
became
his
sole
obsession
Oh
it
took
300
days
For
the
timbers
to
be
raised
And
the
silhouette
was
seen
from
miles
around
And
the
gables
reached
as
high
As
the
eagles
in
the
sky
But
it
only
took
one
night
to
bring
it
down
When
Darby's
castle
tumbled
to
the
ground
Though
they
shared
a
common
bed
There
was
precious
little
said
In
the
moments
that
were
set
aside
for
sleepin'
For
his
busy
dreams
were
filled
With
the
rooms
he'd
yet
to
build
And
he
never
heard
young
Helen
Darby
weepin'
Then
one
night
he
heard
a
sound
As
he
layed
his
pencil
down
And
traced
it
to
her
door
and
turned
the
handle
And
the
pale
light
of
the
moon
Through
the
window
of
the
room
Split
the
shadows
where
two
bodies
lay
entangled
Oh
it
took
300
days
For
the
timbers
to
be
raised
And
the
silhouette
was
seen
from
miles
around
And
the
gables
reached
as
high
As
the
eagles
in
the
sky
But
it
only
took
one
night
to
bring
it
down
When
Darby's
castle
tumbled
to
the
ground
