When I was a girl, my favorite thing

In the whole wide world

Was to see a field and

Run for no reason

And off I'd go, no one behind

Only earth below

Just a patch of green, green as the season



Don't ask why, your feet just fly

Green and sky is all that you're needin

Why ask why, when all that's true

The sky is blue, blue for no reason



Now that things have changed

Everything's carefully prearranged

Not a thing gets done

Except for a reason

Now I'm overrun, I'm startin to feel

Like a hired gun

Where's the chance, where's the fun

Where is the pleasin?



Try and try, you moan and sigh

You just can't find a thing to believe in

Why ask why, when all that's true

The sky is blue, blue for no reason



Don't ask why, your feet just fly

Green and sky is all that you're needin

Why ask why, when all that's true

You're just blue, blue for no reason
