And if she asks you why, you can tell her that I told you
That Im tired of castles in the air.
Ive 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, Ill live there till I die.
Im asking you to say my last goodbye.
The love we knew aint worth another try.

Save me from all the trouble and the pain.
I know Im weak, but I cant face that girl again.
Tell her the reasons why I cant remain,
Perhaps shell understand if you tell it to her plain.

But how can words express the feel of su
nlight in the morning,
In the hills, away from city strife.
I need a country woman for my wife;
Im 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.
Im bowing out. I need a second chance.

Save me from all the trouble and the pain.
I know Im weak, but I cant face that girl again.
Tell her the reasons why I cant remain,
Perhaps shell understand if you tell it to her plain.

And if she asks you why, you can tell her that I told you
That Im tired of castles in the air.
Ive got a dream I want the world to share
And castle walls just lead me to despair.
