Lyrics
With my nose to my heels and the door to the roadway
That leads imperceptibly down
The hills and the clouds and the stairways were their ways
The turnings that never turn round
The smile on my face it always seemed upside down
Trying not to give it away
And the sound of my laugh had the edge of an empty sound
Strange to remember those days
For now take a look at me now
Look at me now take a look at me now
I know its not real but it seems that the future
is shaping its patterns for me
I know how you feel by the flow of your laughter
Your sense of security
So take you delight in the knowledge youre searching for
What may or may not be
Though the ways of the world are the same as they every were
What hold do they have on me
For now take a look at me now
Look at me now take a look at me now
Seems that the ways are to follow easy as sun on the sea
Try not to fear though the reason be near, someone is smiling on me
So take you delight in the knowledge youre searching for
What may or may not be
Though the ways of the world are the same as they every were
What hold do they have on me
For now take a look at me now
Look at me now take a look at me now
