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 'til 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 will not be part of her 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
