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 will 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

Foi lançada no início de 1972 como a faixa B ao lado do maior sucesso de McLean, “Vincent”.
A letra narra a história de um homem da cidade que não consegue mais tolerar os arrojados modos de alta sociedade exibidos por sua namorada citadina.
O protagonista sonha em casar com uma namorada do campo, contrastando o estilo urbano com um ideal rural.
O título aparece no texto em duas formas distintas – “Castles In The Air” e “Castle In The Air” – refletindo um pequeno erro de digitação na divulgação oficial.
