Castles In The Sand

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

Hills of forest green where mountains touch the sky

The dream it comes true, live there 'til I die

I'm asking you to say my last goodbye

The love we knew, it ain't worth another try

[Chorus]

So save me from all the trouble and the pain

I know I'm weak, but I cannot face that girl again

Tell her the rеasons why I cannot remain

Perhaps she'll undеrstand if I tell it to her plain

[Verse 3]

How can words express the feel of sunlight in the morning?

In the hills away from city strife

I need a country woman to call my wife

I'm city-born but I love the country life

[Verse 4]

For I cannot be a part of her cocktail generation

The partners waltz, devoid of all romance

The music plays and everyone must dance

I'm bowin' 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 that I can't remain

Perhaps she'll understand if you tell it to her plain

[Verse 5]

If she asks you why

You can tell her that I told you that I'm tired of castles in the air

I got a dream I want the world to share

And castle walls just lead me to despair

[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 I tell it to her plain
