Castles In The Air" (As recorded 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."
Ive 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, Ill live there till I die.
Im asking you to say my last goodbye.
The love we knew aint worth another try.
Save me from all the trouble and the pain.
I know Im weak, but I cant face that girl again.
Tell her the reasons why I cant remain,
Perhaps shell 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; Im city born, but I love the country life.
For I cannot be part of the cocktail generation:
Partners waltz, devoid of all romance.
The music plays and everyone must dance.
Im bowing out. I need a second chance.
Save me from all the trouble and the pain.
I know Im weak, but I cant face that girl again.
Tell her the reasons why I cant remain,
Perhaps shell understand if you tell it to her plain.
And if she asks you why, you can tell her that I told you
That Im tired of castles in the air.
Ive got a dream I want the world to share
And castle walls just lead me to despair.

"Castles In The Air"... To DayDream

"An Unrealistic Scheme Yet to Be Realized"
A fantastic, impracticable plan or desire: "pipe dream"
Pie In The Sky Ideas!
(I found this to be an easy to understand definition.)
Ask Jeeves about "Castles in the Air"
Encyclopedia article about Castles in the air...
"Castles in the air (or castles in Spain) are creative ideas which cannot be created due to more earthly considerations. The history of invention is full of such castles, as inventions aren't necessarily invented in the order that is most useful. The design of the parachute was worked out before the invention of powered flight."

Now remember...
"If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost;
that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them."
Henry David Thoreau
