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?

Comment by bemuzic on March 28, 2014 at 4:59am: Bob, this pic was part way through the day. They do clear up at the end..

Comment by bemuzic on March 28, 2014 at 4:56am: yes I thought and hoped the same. Should be nice when it's done, yeah that's what I have to keep telling myself!

Comment by Uncle John on March 28, 2014 at 4:45am: Ohhhh! I thought and hoped they would be farther along.... Well, hang in there. That is a light and airy and happy room. Should be sooo nice when it is done.

Comment by bemuzic on March 28, 2014 at 4:36am: thanks John...this is how things are looking today..plenty of brick dust in the air!!

Comment by Uncle John on March 28, 2014 at 4:06am: Those lyrics make a great poem. Good song and beat too. Nice bit of edge to your voice.
