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Contrived and out of date, it's nothing new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
