Castles in the Air Don McLean

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Hills of forest green where the mountains touch the sky
A dream come true, I'll live there 'til I die
I'm asking you to say my last goodbye
The love we knew ain't worth another try

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
Oh, 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

[Verse 4]
For I cannot be part of the cocktail generation
Partners waltz, devoid of all romance
The music plays, and everyone must dance
I'm bowing out, I need a second chance
