It's a big house on a hilltop fine carpets on the floor

Expensive polished marble are the steps up to the door

Vines are climbing up to the roof top

As if there's something they'd like to hide

People call it the fool's castle and I'm the fool that lives inside

The girl is gone that warmed the castle now it's dark the flame has died

It's a big house on a hilltop without love without pride

People call it the fool's castle and I'm the fool that lives inside

She used to live there I thought you were lucky

She had what most girls only dream of

I gave her diamonds silk and satin I gave her everything but love

So with my giving I gave her nothing

She wanted only to be by my side

Yes they call it the fool's castle and I'm the fool that lives inside

The girl is gone that warmed the castle now it's dark the flame has died

It's a big house on a hilltop without love without pride

People call it the fool's castle and I'm the fool that lives inside
