DON MCLEAN - Castles In The Air lyrics

rate me

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.
