Castles in the Air Lyrics
by 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
aj7
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
aj7
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
aj7
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,
aj7
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
aj7
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
aj7
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
aj7
just lead me to despair.
