It's just the way you left it
I haven't changed a thing
It's just the way you left
I haven't changed thing
It's just the way you left it --
nothing's out of joint
Sometimes a man'll lie down in the gap
to get across his point

Oh, the first time that you met
I was wise beyond my years
My eyes were clear and lucid
My thoughts werer true and real
The first that you met me -- Oh,
but that was years ago,
back when you bet that I'd forget you
(oh no)

Look at that sky
That cotton-black cover
That sheet of smother
That seated mother beating down
like wind and worry
Here's you hat, now
where's your hurry?

Look at that sky
Look at that sky
Look at that...

It isn't that you changed me
It's more the way you left
(It sounds strange to say that out loud)
It's the sound of my complaining
The sound of my ears draining
Years go by and still
the sound of my own voice sounds closest

Look at that sky
Look at that sky
Look at that...
