Castles In the Air (1981 Version)

[00:18.40] And if she asks you why, you can tell her that I told you
[00:23.23] That I'm tired of castles in the air
[00:27.24] I've got a dream I want the world to share
[00:31.36] And castle walls just lead me to despair
[00:40.79] Hills of forest green where the mountains touch the sky
[00:45.38] A dream come true, I'll live there 'til I die
[00:49.70] I'm asking you to say my last goodbye
[00:53.89] The love we knew ain't worth another try
[01:03.96] Save me from all the trouble and the pain
[01:08.34] I know I'm weak, but I can't face that girl again
[01:19.29] Tell her the reasons why I can't remain
[01:23.89] Perhaps she'll understand if you tell it to her plain
[01:34.93] But how can words express the feel of sunlight in the morning?
[01:39.80] In the hills, away from city strife
[01:43.96] I need a country woman for my wife
[01:48.09] I'm city born, but I love the country life
[01:58.27] For I will not be part of her cocktail generation
[02:02.69] Partners waltz, devoid of all romance
[02:06.54] The music plays and everyone must dance
[02:10.70] I'm bowing out, I need a second chance
[02:20.91] Save me from all the trouble and the pain
[02:25.39] I know I'm weak but I can't face that girl again
[02:36.51] Tell her the reasons why I can't remain
[02:40.93] Perhaps she'll understand if you tell it to her plain
[02:51.80] And if she asks you why, you can tell her that I told you
[02:56.93] That I'm tired of castles in the air
[03:01.15] I've got a dream I want the world to share
[03:05.10] And castle walls just lead me to despair
[03:11.02]
