- 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 can not be part
- of her cocktail generation,
- partners waltz
- Devoid of all romance
- the music plays
- and everyone must dance
- I'm bowing out
- I need a second chance.
-
- ** Repeat
-
- 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
