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 will 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 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
