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
Though loving you 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 this cocktail generation
Partners waltz, devoid of all romance
The music plays and everyone must dance
I?m bowing out and 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
Ain?t worth another try
