Castles In The Air - Don McLean (唐·麦克林)

Written by：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

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 girl again

Tell her the reasons why I can't remain

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

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

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
