Tom Paxton
That’s the Way it Seems to Me
Does the sun take forever to go down?
Is each night eternity?
Is the morning bell a mournful sound?
That's the way it seems to me
That's the way it seems to me these days
Nothing feels the same as you can see
Ever since we came to the parting of the ways
That's the way it seems to me
There is no change in the mighty ocean deep
There is no change in the sea
We should make no promise we can't keep
That's the way it seems to me
That's the way it seems to me these days
Nothing feels the same as you can see
Ever since we came to the parting of the ways
That's the way it seems to me
Yes, I dream of the wonders that we had
Till you wanted to be free
Still it took two to make it all turn bad
That's the way it seems to me
That's the way it seems to me these days
Nothing feels the same as you can see
Ever since we came to the parting of the ways
That's the way it seems to me
Can't you hear that bird out in the cold
Singin' so mournfully?
Sounds like someone afeared of growing old
That's the way it seems to me
That's the way it seems to me these days
Nothing feels the same as you can see
Ever since we came to the parting of the ways
That's the way it seems to me
Oh, that's the way it seems to me these days
Nothing feels the same as you can see
Ever since we came to the parting of the ways
That's the way it seems to me
That's the way it seems to me
