Castles In The Air (Live/1970)

Castles In The Air (Live/1970) - Don McLean

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 good bye

The love we knew ain't worth another try

Save me from all the troble 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

Oh' but how can words express the feel

Of sunlight in the morning in the hills

Away from city strife

I need a country womam for my wife

I'm city born'

But i love the country life

For i can not be part of the cocktail generation

Partners waltz devoid of all romance

The music plays and everyone must dance

I'm bowing now 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
