I was standing on the corner
Waiting for my first true love
And the wind it came and whispered
You may wait but she is gone
So I wandered to the four ways
Waited for the wind to change
All the years I'm fighting memories
Ah my minds and empty maze
Blue is the sky, Blue am I,
Blue is the sky today.
Now I'm haunted by the scent of flowers
That we gathered on August days
And we built a rustic altar
Between the nettles and the hay
You have travelled, I have ventured
I have sung so many songs
And it's you my thoughts return to
When this day is nearly done
Blue is the sky, Blue am I,
Blue is the sky today.
Waiting for the wind to change
Like a fool I'm waiting for the wind to change
Now I search through distant memories
O the sunshine in your smile
Your tender humble beauty
Will be present for all time.
Blue is the sky, Blue am I,
Blue is the sky today.
