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 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
