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
