|
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. |
