And if she asks you why you can tell her that I told youThat I'm tired of castles in the airI've got a dream I want the world to shareAnd castle walls just lead me to despair
Hills of forest green where the mountains touch the skyA dream come true, I'll live there 'til I dieI'm asking you to say my last goodbyeThe love we knew ain't worth another try
Save me from all the trouble and the painI know I'm weak but I can't face that girl againTell her the reasons why I can't remainPerhaps she'll understand if you tell it to her plain
Oh, but how can words express the feel of sunlight in the morningIn the hills away from city strifeI need a country woman for my wifeI'm city born but I love the country life
For I cannot be part of the cocktail generationPartners waltz devoid of all romanceThe music plays and everyone must danceI'm bowing out, I need a second chance
Save me from all the trouble and the painI know I'm weak but I can't face that girl againTell her the reasons why I can't remainPerhaps she'll understand if you tell it to her plain
And if she asks you why you can tell her that I told youThat I'm tired of castles in the airI've got a dream I want the world to shareAnd castle walls just lead me to despair
