Castles In The Air

And if she asks you why, you can tell her that i told you

That i'm tired of castles in the air.

I've got a dream i want the world to share

And castle walls just lead me to despair.



Hills of forest green where the mountains touch the sky,

A dream come true, i'll live there till i die.

I'm asking you to say my last goodbye.

The love we knew ain't worth another try.



Save me from all the trouble and the pain.

I know i'm weak, but i can't face that girl again.

Tell her the reasons why i can't remain,

Perhaps she'll understand if you tell it to her plain.





But how can words express the feel of sunlight in the morning,

In the hills, away from city strife.

I need a country woman for my wife;

I'm city born, but i love the country life.



For i cannot be part of the cocktail generation:

Partners waltz, devoid of all romance.

The music plays and everyone must dance.

I'm bowing out. i need a second chance.



Save me from all the trouble and the pain.

I know i'm weak, but i can't face that girl again.

Tell her the reasons why i can't remain,

Perhaps she'll understand if you tell it to her plain.



And if she asks you why, you can tell her that i told you

That i'm tired of castles in the air.

I've got a dream i want the world to share

And castle walls just lead me to despair.
