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Contrived and out of date, it´s nothing new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
