Don McLean - Castles in The Air Lyrics

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.
