Sides
And if she asks you why,
you can tell her that I told you
That I'm tired, of
castles in the air
(Allemande and Weave)
I've got a dream, I want the world to share
(Promenade)
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 'til I die
(Allemande and Weave)
I'm asking you, to say my last goodbye
(Promenade)
The love we knew, ain't
worth another try

ORIGINAL LYRICS
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 '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
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
