The old man spoke
A silent word
The old axe broke
Against the new sword
The old oak tree
Fell to the ground
The little boy wept
Without a sound
And I just stood
Observing the world
Nothing's understood
And I got bored

A blue bird sat on the tree
A tree so big and strong
And frankly, I just couldn't see
That maybe I was wrong
About all that happened then
With that girl I loved before
A girl whose name is Elaine
And who I don't love anymore
I left that girl many years ago
I left that girl without a word
And so I decided in this path to go
Because I got bored

And after all these years
I never felt regret
I never cried no tears
And it all seemed to be correct
But now, thinking of her touch
Makes me ponder of Elaine
It makes me miss her much
But now is now and then is then
The wheel of life cannot be turned
This thing life clearly showed
And though my heart's flame once burnt
Now I am just bored

I can't undo what I've done
And somehow this is good
Although I think Elaine's the one
That brought taste to my food
So I just sit here in this park
Watching all the kids that play
I know I'll remain here till dark
Afterwards I cannot stay
It's rather weird to think now of her
I believe its even odd
And though I want to reunite this pair
Now I'm only bored

So now lonely I am sitting
Underneath the tree
Quietly observing
The beautiful bird I see
The bird shouts something
But it's quite obscure
Perhaps to me it's calling
Trying my heart to cure
Though hard to believe
It mustn't be ignored
And as I grieve
I only get more bored

So don't cry for me
Please don't shed a tear
I know it's easy to see
But I tried to cover my fear
The fear that maybe someday
I will meet her in the park
And though my heart will be gay
It won't have the same old spark
And so the blue bird cries
I guess my fear is showed
(In fact, it's no surprise)
And I still get bored

I know I can't pretend
This clearly I can see
It has come to an end
And that's the way it will be
Nothing can change my decision
This is how it's going to stay
And I understand your confusion
But I have nothing further to say
Do not talk me out
And don't be so shocked
Cause you know nothing about,
About getting bored

Please don't think I'm a saint
I'm not that better from her
And though I promised I'd love her 'till death
I don't think this promise is fair
One time with her was enough for me -
This you must understand
And I don't think you can possibly see
What I can't
So don't try, you've done enough,
That you clearly showed
Life can surely be rough
Forever I'll be bored
