Castles in the air
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
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
(G#bass)
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
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 can not be part
of her cocktail generation, partners waltz
Devoid of all romance the music playes
and everyone must dance I'm bowling out
I need a second chance.
Save me from all the trouble and the pain
(G#bass)
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.
