You tell me you're too crazy,
I say that you're actually very lazy,
Jimmy, why are you leaving here?
The reason still isn't clear...
I'm daydreaming so I can't understand you,
I tell you I love you too.
You're talking, but I still don't understand a word.
You seem to remind me of a bird,
The way you easily think you fly away,
In your dreams to the Atlantic Sea or St. Kilda bay.
You realize I'm not listening to you,
You tell me you love me too,
I tell you I'm flying, it's true,
Even ask the airplane crew!
The black clouds come and hide the beautiful blue sky
While the plane lands with lonely echoes of a goodbye...
