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 FELL 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
PARTNERS WALTZ DEVOID OF ALL ROMANCE
THE MUSIC PLAYS AND EVERYONE MUST DANCE
T'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 UM . . . LA . . .
