Don McClean 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 c___tail 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.
