The Things I Notice Now feat. Alice Gerrard

The Things I Notice Now

Rained again last night, streets are slowly drying
Sunlight's not too bright, I don't believe it's trying
I never used to care, it wouldn't cross my mind
You'd be surprised, the things I notice now

The mailman's overdue. Man upstairs is typin'.
My neighbor has the flu. And his wife has started gripin'.
I never used to care. It wouldn't cross my mind.
You'd be surprised, the things I notice now.

I'm sittin' in the window seat, just watchin' my day walk by
There's a lot of people I should meet, if I could find a reason why
There's a whole lot of things, I oughta get up and do,
Like finding you


Mornin' streets are jammed, taxi driver's swearin'
I think his rage is sham, he looks like he's past carin'
I never used to care, it wouldn't cross my mind.
You'd be surprised, the things I notice now.

I'm going to get myself in line, I'm gonna get a hold on things
I'm probably going to be just fine, we'll see what tomorrow brings
There's a whole lot of things, I've gotta get up and do
Like finding you

Rained again last night, streets are slowly drying
Sunlight's not too bright, I don't believe it's trying
I never used to care, it wouldn't cross my mind
You'd be surprised, the things I notice now

I never used to care, it wouldn't cross my mind
You'd be surprised, the things I notice now
