The Things I Notice Now

(album: The Things I Notice Now - 1968)

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 typing
My neighbour's has the flu
And his wife has started griping
I never used to care
It wouldn't cross my mind
You'd be surprised, the things I notice now
I'm sitting in the window seat
Just watching 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
Morning streets are jammed
Taxi driver's swearing
I think his rage is shammed
He looks like he's past caring
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
