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
So 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 thought, I don't know the 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
So 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Contrived and out of date, it's nothing new
Bit it's all I got to say to you

I stare at the right side of my double bed
Books and medecines instead of you
And 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 I can see
So would you lend me your eyes for a little while
So I might remember how to be
