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 The 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'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 will not be part of her cocktail generation, partner's waltz devoid of all romance The music plays and everyone 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 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 And the castle's in the air, I've got a dream, I want the world to share And castle walls just lead me to despair
