Intro: And if she asks you why You can tell her that I told you, that I'm tired 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 will understand If you tell it to her plan 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'll not be part Of her cocktail generation, partners waltz Devoid of all romance, the music plays And everyone must dance, I'm bowling 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 will understand If you tell it to her plan And if she asks you why You can tell her that I told you, that I'm tired Castles in the air, I've got a dream I want the world to share and castle walls Just lead me to despair...
