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 in castle walls
Just leave 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

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 can not be part of her `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 in castle walls
Just leave me to despair
