Ain't Looking Closely - Tift Merritt

Perfect sky

The sun and I are going our own way

I can tell

No one else gonna know how to love me

But the wind with his hands on my face

And the tall grass, Lord, how it shakes

All of my worries, worry about me for a change

'Cause I ain’t looking closely today

No, I ain’t looking closely today

Like a river so wide, I’m gonna let it slide away

Long way off

Someone calling ain’t calling my name

Old blue jay

Fly away rather than explain

Water carries voices and the devil may care

Me, I don’t have an answer to spare

No use in asking, I’m feeling the same

No I ain’t looking closely today

No I ain’t looking closely today

I’m feeling so high, I’m gonna let it fly away

No I ain’t looking closely today

I ain’t looking closely today

Like a river so wide, I’m gonna let it slide away

No I ain’t looking closely today

No I ain’t looking closely today

I’m feeling so high, I’m gonna let it fly away
