lyrics
It's a beautiful day
But I've a melancholy heart
I've come all this way
Out to where you are
But the hills are talking
They're talking about us
And the flowers bloom
All red and gold
But I'm colorblind
At least that's what I'm told
You're as dry as the straw
Beneath my toes
Don't say I'll miss you
Cause I'll soon be gone
Don't say I'll miss you
Cause you're not the one
In these wicker chairs
By these olive trees
I feel as old as a a vine
In the summer heat
Still your voice it brings me
To my sleep
And these birds they fly
Only in the night
They sing my song
They take my fight
To the skies above
They sing my love
But I've a melancholy heart
I've come all this way
Out to where you are
But the hills are talking
They're talking about us
And the flowers bloom
All red and gold
But I'm colorblind
At least that's what I'm told
You're as dry as the straw
Beneath my toes
Don't say I'll miss you
Cause I'll soon be gone
Don't say I'll miss you
Cause you're not the one
In these wicker chairs
By these olive trees
I feel as old as a a vine
In the summer heat
Still your voice it brings me
To my sleep
And these birds they fly
Only in the night
They sing my song
They take my fight
To the skies above
They sing my love
