Castles in the Air
Dreams Beyond Castles: A Tale of Love, Escape, and Second Chances
Lyrics
And if she asks you why you can tell her that I told you
Asking someone to convey a message to a woman, expressing weariness of unfulfilled dreams.
That I'm tired of Castles in the Air
Expressing fatigue with unrealistic dreams or aspirations.
I've got a dream I want the world to share in castle walls
Sharing a dream with the world, longing for connection within the confines of a dreamlike castle.
Just leave me to despair
Requesting solitude to grapple with inner turmoil and disappointment.
Hills of forest green where the mountains touch the sky
Describing a picturesque landscape with green hills and touching mountains.
A dream come true, I'll live there 'til I die
Expressing a dream come true and a commitment to live in that idyllic place forever.
I'm asking you, to say my last goodbye
Requesting someone to convey a final farewell.
The love we knew, ain't worth another try
Acknowledging that the past love is not worth rekindling.
Save me from all the trouble and the pain
Pleading for rescue from pain and trouble.
I know I'm weak but I can't face that girl again
Admitting weakness and inability to face a certain girl again.
Tell her the reasons why I can't remain
Asking to communicate the reasons for leaving to the girl.
Perhaps she'll understand if you tell it to her plain
Suggesting that honesty may lead to understanding on the girl's part.
Oh, but how can words express the feel of sunlight
Expressing the difficulty of conveying the profound experience of sunlight and nature.
In the morning in the hills away from city strife
Desiring a life in the hills away from urban challenges.
I need a country woman for my wife
Expressing a need for a spouse who appreciates a rural lifestyle.
I'm city born but I love the country life
Acknowledging a love for the country life despite being born in the city.
For I can not be part of her "Cocktail-Generation Partner's Waltz,"
Rejecting involvement in a superficial, unromantic social scene.
Devoid of all romance
Describing a partner's waltz as lacking romance.
The music plays and everyone must dance
Highlighting the obligatory nature of dancing to the music.
I'm bowing out, I need a second chance
Expressing a desire for a fresh start and another opportunity in life.
Save me from all the trouble and the pain
Repeating a plea for salvation from pain and trouble.
I know I'm weak but I can't face that girl again
Reiterating weakness and the inability to face a particular person again.
Tell her the reasons why I can't remain
Requesting communication of reasons for departure.
Perhaps she'll understand if you tell it to her plain
Suggesting that honesty may lead to the girl's understanding.
And if she asks you why you can tell her that I told you
Repeating the initial request to convey a message to the woman about the weariness of unrealized dreams.
That I'm tired of Castles in the Air
Restating fatigue with unattainable dreams.
I've got a dream I want the world to share in castle walls
Reiterating the dream to share with the world within castle walls.
Just leave me to despair
Closing with a plea to be left to despair, emphasizing the heaviness of unfulfilled dreams.
