Never underestimate the treachery of the ornery North American Chick.

If nothing else, maybe this song has enlightened a few men as to what's really important to most women!

See the ruin on the hill where the smoke is hanging stillLike an echo of an age long forgotten;There’s a story of a home crushed beneath those blackened stonesAnd the roof which fell before the beams were rotten.Cecil darby loved his wife, and he laboured all his lifeTo provide her with material possessions;And he built for her a home of the finest wood and stoneAnd the building soon became his sole obsession.Oh, it took three hundred days for the timbers to be raisedAnd the silhouette was seen for miles around;And the gables reached as high as the eagles in the sky -But it only took one night to bring it down,When darby’s castle tumbled to the ground.Though they shared a common bed there was precious little saidIn the moments that were set aside for sleeping:For his busy dreams were filled with the rooms he’d yet to buildAnd he never heard young ellen darby weeping.Then one night he heard a sound, as he laid his pencil down,And he traced it to her door and turned the handle;And the pale light of the moon through the window of the roomSplit the shadows where two bodies lay entangled.Oh, it took three hundred days for the timbers to be raisedAnd the silhouette was seen for miles around;And the gables reached as high as the eagles in the sky -But it only took one night to bring it down,

Thank you Kris for all of your great music, when i was a kid, I bought one of your song books, the big one and I used to sit and play your songs for hours, and i learned this song, by reading the music and playing it and many others, God bless you and thank you for your testimony on WHY ME LORD, love it - mark

@shda33 Yes Kris wrote this song. It was one of his earliest pieces.

shda33

So did Kris write this song? I have always loved this song & didn't know who wrote it.

denniss265

I have the original 33. I only play it after I have had about 5 too many.
