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
