lyrics
Well I don’t get lonely when I am at home,
And I don’t feel sad in a crowd on my own.
I’ll write you a monster rhyme, fly away home,
Your castles are burning, your dreams they have flown.
Ladybird, ladybird what do you see?
Building your sandcastles in the air, by the sea.
Ladybird, ladybird what do you know?
I remember you taught me true once long ago.
I wish I could say there was one Scarborough Fair –
I’d find me a truelove and then leave her there.
But as I look up and see clouds grey, I fear
That one perfect raindrop will never appear.
Ladybird, ladybird what do you see?
Building your sandcastles in the air, by the sea.
Ladybird, ladybird what do you know?
I remember you taught me true once long ago.
And I don’t feel sad in a crowd on my own.
I’ll write you a monster rhyme, fly away home,
Your castles are burning, your dreams they have flown.
Ladybird, ladybird what do you see?
Building your sandcastles in the air, by the sea.
Ladybird, ladybird what do you know?
I remember you taught me true once long ago.
I wish I could say there was one Scarborough Fair –
I’d find me a truelove and then leave her there.
But as I look up and see clouds grey, I fear
That one perfect raindrop will never appear.
Ladybird, ladybird what do you see?
Building your sandcastles in the air, by the sea.
Ladybird, ladybird what do you know?
I remember you taught me true once long ago.
