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 |
|
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 |
