Thread Name: Lyr ADD: Castles in the Air (W. B., 1858)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: ? Castles in the Air (not Don Maclean)
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 and forests grow 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 a second try

   Save me from all the trouble and the pain
   I know I'm weak but I just can't face that girl again
   Tell her the reason why I can't remain
   Perhaps she'll understand if you tell it to her plain

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

For how can words express the feel of sunlight in the mornings
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

Repeat first verse.

Hope this helps. Alan.
