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
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 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
of castles in the air,
I've got a dream
I want the world to share
and castle walls
just lead me to despair.
