World Weary

When I'm feeling dreary and blue
I'm only too glad to be left alone
Dreaming of a place in the sun when day is done
Far from a telephone
Bustle and the weary crowd
Make me wanna cry out loud
Give me something peaceful and grand
Where all the land slumbers in monotone

I'm world weary, world weary
Living in a great big town
I find it so dreary, so dreary
Everything looks grey or brown
I want an ocean blue, great big trees
A bird's-eye view of the Pyrenees
I wanna watch the moon rise up
And see the great red sun go down

Watching clouds go by through a wintry sky fascinates me
But if I'm standing in the street
Everyone I meet simply hates me

Because I'm world weary, world weary
I could kiss the railroad tracks
I want to get right back to nature and relax

Get up in the morning at eight
Relentless fate drives me to work at nine
Toiling like a bee in a hive from four to five
Whether it's wet or fine
Hardly ever see the sky
Buildings seem to grow so high
Maybe in the future I will perhaps fulfill
This little dream of mine

I'm world weary, world weary
Tired of all those jumping jacks
I want to get right back to nature and relax
