"Castles in the Air"
Song lyrics, Tapestry (1970)
Context: And if she asks you why,
You can tell her that I told you
That I'm tired of castles in the air.
I've got a dream I want the world to share,
And castle walls just lead me to despair.Hills of forest green where the mountains touch the sky,
A dream come true, I'll live there till I die.
I'm asking you to say my last goodbye.
The love we knew ain't worth another try.
“You live you die and death not ends it.”
Jim Morrison (1943–1971) lead singer of The Doors
An American Prayer (1978)
Variant: We live, we die
and death not ends it
Context: O great creator of being
grant us one more hour to
perform our art
and perfect our lives The moths & atheists are doubly divine
& dying
We live, we die
and death not ends it
