Castles in the Air sing and play along
And 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, I but love the country spair.
For 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 reason why I can't remain.
Perhaps she'll understand, if you tell it to her plain.
But if she asks you why,
the 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 I just lead me to de life.
For I will not be part of the cocktail generation.
Partners waltz, devoid of all romance.
The music plays and ev'ryone 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 reason why I can't remain.
Perhaps she'll understand, if you tell it to her plain.
But And spair.
