Castle Walls (Love's Not Fair)
Drew James© 2013

Here within these castle walls
Love tells all its secrets
Every need that comes to call
I seek a way to please it, I seek a way to please it

I offered her a chair
She answers with a stare
I ask, “Why don’t you care?”
Then she whispered, “Love’s not fair”
Lovs not fair, love's not fair

Here within these castle walls
Life unveils its freedom
There inside the entry hall
Stands its naked meaning
Stands it's naked meaning

Her deafness to my pleas
Drove me to my knees
She gave me back my keys
Then she turned her back to leave, turned her back to leave
Love's not fair

I used to swing
The whole world on a string
Now that string's a chain
That binds me like a slave
Love's not fair

Here within these castle walls
Night screams out in silence
Though I hear no sound at all
It splits my ears with violence, splits my ears with violence

I search but cannot find
Some clue she’s left behind
Some clear or subtle sign
To reassure me in my mind
That love is fair, love is fair

I used to swing
The whole world on a string
Now that string's a chain
That binds me like a slave
Love's not fair

Here within these castle walls
Love tells all its secrets
Every need that comes to call
I seek a way to please it, I seek a way to please it
