Ron Sexsmith - Same Old Eyes lyrics

It's hit and miss, just stepping out the door You run the risk of seeing more A steady stream of ghosts who've fallen hard Without saying a thing, give you the whole nine yards All I want to do is ride See the world anew with the same old eyes I keep hearing the same discordant lullaby Seems I see here is all merchandise It's telling me it's what it's all about Still I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt All I want to do is ride See the world anew with the same old eyes But I've been fooled before, open an eye To believe what was, the same, same old eyes The same old sleeping care Just waking up now, to the struggle ahead It's hit and miss, just stepping out the door You run the risk of seeing more A steady stream of ghosts who've fallen hard Without saying a thing, give you the whole nine yards All I want to do is ride See the world anew with the same old eyes
