Castles in the Air
Don McLean
Intro :(x3) 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 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
