High above the water almost in the clouds
When the day was over when the stars came out
When the light had faded and the gate had closed
When our hearts were open and our lives were our own
And the walls were built a thousand years ago
But we created history of our own
I used to be the keeper I used to hold the key
I used to share the secrets of all life’s mysteries
The ocean was our playground beneath the endless sky
The night was there for only us and we could almost fly
And the walls were built a thousand years ago
But we created history of our own
We were the kings and queens that ruled the night
But now memories all fade to black and white
And all the love and all the smiles
The laughter that remains inside
The castle that had once defined
The man I used to be
And 20 years have come and gone
And now the sun is setting on
The bay that still remains my home
High above the water almost in the clouds
I sit and think over all the times we had
When I was the keeper when we ruled the night
And it’s joy that fills my soul for this extraordinary life
