Castles In the Air (Re-Recorded) 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 despairHills 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 trySave 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 plainBut 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 lifeFor 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 chanceSave 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 plainAnd 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

Don McLean (born October 2, 1945 in New Rochelle, New York) is an American singer-songwriter, most famous for his 1971 song "American Pie," about the plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and The Big Bopper. The song spawned the phrase "The Day the Music Died," referring to the day of the crash.

Early in his career, McLean was mentored by the folk legend Pete Seeger, and accompanied Seeger on his Clearwater boat up the Hudson River in 1969 to protest at environmental pollution in the river. The Clearwater campaign was widely credited for improving water quality in the Hudson River.

In 1980, McLean had an international number one hit with the Roy Orbison classic, "Crying." Only following the record's success overseas was it released in the U.S., becoming a top-ten hit in 1981. Orbison himself once described McLean as "the voice of the century," and a subsequent re-recording of the song saw Orbison incorporate elements of McLean's version.

In 1991, McLean returned to the U.K. top ten with a re-issue of "American Pie," which nine years later became a worldwide smash all over again thanks to Madonna's controversial cover.
