Castles In The Air

Don McLean

Castles In The AirDon Mclean And if she asks you why you can tell her that I told youThat I'm tired of Castles in the AirI've got a dream I want the world to share in castle wallsJust leave me to despairHills of forest green where the mountains touch the skyA dream come true, I'll live there 'til I dieI'm asking you, to say my last goodbyeThe love we knew, ain't worth another trySave me from all the trouble and the painI know I'm weak but I can't face that girl againTell her the reasons why I can't remainPerhaps she'll understand if you tell it to her plainOh, but how can words express the feel of sunlightIn the morning in the hills away from city strifeI need a country woman for my wifeI'm city born but I love the country lifeFor I can not be part of her "Cocktail-Generation Partner's Waltz,"Devoid of all romanceThe music plays and everyone must danceI'm bowing out, I need a second chanceSave me from all the trouble and the painI know I'm weak but I can't face that girl againTell her the reasons why I can't remainPerhaps she'll understand if you tell it to her plainAnd if she asks you why you can tell her that I told youThat I'm tired of Castles in the AirI've got a dream I want the world to share in castle wallsJust leave me to despair
