You always her the shouts
from my battalion
I send toy soldiers out to
help me stand
And when I see you hide
behind these 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 given half the chance
of turning back the tide
I'll stay at home and keep
my boys in line

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

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

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
