Song I Just Wrote

Got me a prescription for perfect living

But I lost it on the breeze

So I ran down to the crossroads winter stinging

And I tried my very best just to breathe

Now I know it's not the way

That it was meant to be

But right now I don't think I can see

Would you lend me your eyes for a little while

So I might remember how to smile?

Got me a friend named Peg, she taught me knitting

Gonna knit me a new man

And even though, I don't know his perfect fitting

Well I'm sure he'll understand

Now I know it's not the way

That it was meant to be

But right now I don't think I can see

Would you lend me your eyes for a little while

So I might remember how to smile?

Does everybody feel like this sometimes?

Where every word they say, sounds like recycled rhymes

Contrived and out of date, it's nothing new

But it's all I got, to say to you

I stare at the right side of my double bed

Books and medicines instead of you

And you know, yeah you know

Cannon balls hit hard when you're not sleeping

And time takes time it's true

Now I know it's not the way

That it was meant to be

But right now I don't think can see

So would you lend me your eyes for a little while

So I might remember how to be
