Verse

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   

Chorus

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    

Verse

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 will 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  

Chorus

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    

Verse

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
