Night Castle

I have been this way before

Check each window

Every door

For a passage through

This night

This night

But each hallway

Ends the same

Every door's been

Checked in vain

For a way to reach that light

That light

As I move in deeper

Towards this castle's keeper

Every stair seems steeper

Am I risking my own life

My life

Then a falcon in the air

Looking down

Returns my stare

While she's circling around

Around

Then she dives straight towards a

Wall

Then she isn't there at all

And is gone without a sound

No sound

I have no choice but to follow

What was solid now is hollow

Stairways hidden behind curtains

Realizing nothing is certain

Suddenly up stairs I'm climbing

Then through hallways twisted,

Winding

This falcon on her endeavor

Do these stairs just go forever

On

And in that room

An old man sitting there

He's writing notes

And drops them in the air

Somewhere outside

Upon an ocean breeze

Which takes them out

Past where the eye can see
