Don McLean - 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.
