about

Also a remake from Floor Creak's 'Time Goes Rushing By.' I finally decided it's about the possibility of dying and finding an old flame in the great beyond. I played an electric guitar break -- the only one I think I ever recorded. Played it on an Epiphone knock-off of a telecaster. The guitar was almost impossible to keep in tune. Recorded at Slipped Disc studio in Ashland, Virginia (part of 'Songs for Aging Cynics').

lyrics

One day I’m gonna dream myself to a better place
People’ll say that boy vanished without a trace
He must have gone someplace fine

I may be sleeping, or maybe daydreaming while I comb my hair
And suddenly I'll vanish in thin air
And come out someplace fine

I wonder if there’ll be rainbows in the sky
I wonder if I’ll have wings so I can fly
But the thing I wonder most about this castle in the air
I wonder if I will find you there

One day, you dreamed yourself to a better place
Girl you vanished without a trace
You must have gone someplace fine

I was sleeping, didn’t know I had a care
You just vanished in thin air
I hope you went someplace fine

And I wonder if you’ve got rainbows in your sky
I wonder if you’ve got wings so you can fly
But the thing I wonder most about this castle in the air
I wonder if I will find you there
The thing I wonder most about this castle in the air
I wonder if I will find you there
