Castles in the Air - Celtic Thunder, Keith Harkin

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 in castle walls

Just leave me to despair

Hills of forest green where the mountains touch the sky

A dream come true, I’ll live there 'til 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

Oh, 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 can not be part of her «Cocktail-Generation Partner’s 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 in castle walls

Just leave me to despair
