You always hear the shouts from my battalion
And sent toy soldiers out to 
help me stand
And when I see you hide behind those curtain folds
I cross 
the room to turn the lights down low

* On common ground we'll build our 
castle walls
We'll build them stone by stone and how
With more and more 
you know it won't take long
Where it burned orange let it burn gold

I 
wouldn't like to learn a lesson everyday
Good times, bad times, it's just the 
price to pay
But give them half a chance at turning back the tide
I stay 
at home and keep my boys in line

[Repeat *]

And given half the 
chance to turn the hands of time
I'm always a bridesmaid
Couldn't live 
with myself
If I tried to be the bride

[Repeat *]

[Repeat * , 
*]
