The Enchanted Castle by Claude Lorrain
This could be the castle of my dreams
Inside, I wander from room to room
Explore the halls
Marvel at the tapestries
Breath in the ocean air
Imagine if I were wealthy
Enough to live here
And have servants meet my every whim
Instead, I punch my ticket
At the front door
And tour this castle
In my dreams
