Castles In The Air by Don McLean

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.
