Blue is the Sky

by Dmitri Skomorochov

I am a minstrel, and I make my way,
I sail through the islands so I earn my pay,
I sing of the valiant, I sing of the bold,
I sing for the people who offer me gold,
I sing for the people who offer me gold,

Chorus
Blue is the sky on a cold winter's day,
Blue is the water that sits in the bay,
Blue is the songbird that minds me of home,
And blue is the ocean that I choose to roam,
Blue is the ocean that I choose to roam,

Now, I have a family, a beautiful wife,
And we have a son who can brighten my life,
We have a fine house, I'll return to someday,
Until then I sing and I send them my pay,
Until then I sing and I send them my pay,

Chorus

It is a hard life, I travel so long,
Earning my pennies with story and song,
Someday when I'm wealthy, no more will I roam,
I'll finish my singing and finally go home,
I'll finish my singing and finally go home,

Chorus
