Castles In The Air (New Song) on 3 String Cohiba CBG

http://bemuzic.bandcamp.com/

I wrote this one day when I was feeling a bit stressed about the building work we're having done on the house.
Good to get frustrations out in a song!

Castles In The Air

Thoughts suspended like brick dust in the sun.
Hours fly away like bullets from gun.
Are you building something real,
are you building something strong?
...or just castles in the air?

Feel just like a child stuck in an adults game.
Another day goes by, it all looks just the same.
Are you building something real,
are you building something strong?
...or just castles in the air?

Sometimes wish we'd never started down this road.
Soon we'll find out if our walls can bear the load.
Are you building something real,
are you building something strong?
...or just castles in the air?

Thoughts suspended like brick dust in the sun,
Hours fly away like bullets from gun.
Are you building something real,
are you building something strong?
...or just castles in the air?

Groovily aposite!

My main excuse for not doing much musically at the moment is that we have a load of major building work in progress on our house. I know the stress! Feel like I live in a bomb site and I'll be covered in dust forever. Thanks for lifting my mood a little. I guess you've shown that building work is no obstacle to music so perhaps I should go get out one of my guitars.
