There's a little green shack at the foot of the hill
there I was born and I'm livin' there still
I was raised near a fountain of eternal youth
the sky holds no clouds, it's only blue

In the afternoon shadow of a castle in the air
I weed the garden, I take care of my share
I grow red roses and violets too
and as you can guess, they're only blue

I got a girlfriend, she lives nearby
we'll soon get married and together we'll die
her eyes are pretty as a flower in bloom
but they're tellin' me nothing, they're only blue

Well I told you about the beauty and the love in my live
and I hear you thinkin' he must be more than satisfied
but things never change, no matter what I do
I'm discontent, only blue
