Castles in the Air

And if he asks you why, you can tell him 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 boy again

Tell him the reasons why I can't remain

Perhaps he'll understand, if you tell it to him plain

Oh, but how can words express

The feel of sunlight in the morning

In the hills, away from city strife

I need a country boy in my life

I'm city-born, but I love the country life

For I cannot be part of the 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 boy again

Tell him the reasons why I can't remain

Perhaps he'll understand, if you tell it to him plain

And if he asks you why, you can tell him 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
