Castles In The Air Lyrics

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.
