Castles In The Air (1981 Version) - Don McLean

Castles In The Air - Don McLean
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 good bye
The love we knew ain't worth another try
Save me from all the troble 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
Oh' but how can words express the feel
Of sunlight in the morning in the hills
Away from city strife
I need a country womam for my wife
I'm city born'
But i love the country life
For i can not be part of the cocktail generation
Partners waltz devoid of all romance
The music plays and everyone must dance
I'm bowing now 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
