| Album | Tapestry |
| [00:14.139] | And if she asks you why, |
| [00:16.389] | you can tell her that I told you |
| [00:18.799] | That I'm tired of castles in the air. |
| [00:21.790] | I've got a dream I want the world to share |
| [00:25.320] | And castle walls just lead me to despair. |
| [00:32.750] | Hills of forest green where the mountains touch the sky, |
| [00:36.860] | A dream come true, I'll live there till I die. |
| [00:40.590] | I'm asking you to say my last goodbye. |
| [00:43.740] | The love we knew ain't worth another try. |
| [00:50.830] | Save me from all the trouble and the pain. |
| [00:54.560] | I know I'm weak, but I can't face that girl again. |
| [01:03.80] | Tell her the reasons why I can't remain, |
| [01:07.20] | Perhaps she'll understand if you tell it to her plain. |
| [01:14.640] | But how can words express the feel of sunlight in the morning, |
| [01:19.280] | In the hills, away from city strife. |
| [01:22.660] | I need a country woman for my wife; |
| [01:26.20] | I'm city born, but I love the country life. |
| [01:32.909] | For I cannot be part of the cocktail generation: |
| [01:37.379] | Partners waltz, devoid of all romance. |
| [01:39.939] | The music plays and everyone must dance. |
| [01:44.100] | I'm bowing out. I need a second chance. |
| [01:50.560] | Save me from all the trouble and the pain. |
| [01:55.100] | I know I'm weak, but I can't face that girl again. |
| [02:02.850] | Tell her the reasons why I can't remain, |
| [02:06.730] | Perhaps she'll understand if you tell it to her plain. |
| [02:14.170] | And if she asks you why, you can tell her that I told you |
| [02:19.209] | That I'm tired of castles in the air. |
| [02:22.359] | I've got a dream I want the world to share |
| [02:25.739] | And castle walls just lead me to despair. |
| [00:14.139] | And if she asks you why, |
