[Intro]
AOoohhh
[Verse 1]
AHer eyes were DbutterfliesE  
Her smile was a Arainbow
Her hair was Dsunbeam wavesE  
Shining around like a Ahalo
Her face was a Dfairy taleE  
It has a poison Aapple
Her skull was a Dmighty moatE  
Her brain was the Acastle
[Chorus]
And the Dcastle gets mistaken for a Eshape that's frozen in the Aclouds
And the Dcastle is brighter than a Ethousand Christmas Atrees
And the Dcastle can never be Erebuilt again
No Away
[Verse 2]
AOne day a strange Dstorm rolled inE  
While she was riding on her Adragon
The mushrooms and the Dbumblebees E  
Told the flowers how it Ahappened
She was lost in the Dinvisible warE  
Fighting in the Abattle
Her love is still Dburied thereE  
In the ruins of the Acastle
[Chorus]
And the Dcastle oscillates to the Ebeating heart of her Amind
And the Dcastle is taller than the ENorthern ALights
And the Dcastle can never Erebuilt again
No Away
[Coda]
And the Dcastle can never Erebuilt again
No Away
And the Dcastle can never Erebuilt again
No Away, no Dway, no Eway
No Away, no Dway, no Eway
No Away
