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

Oh, 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 Partner's 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
