Still Not Used To

(album: Longer Fuse - 1977)

Still not used to having people pay to hear me
Guess I'm still a child trying so har-ard to please
Trying to seek approval through my songs
And do you still love me or have I been away too long

Woh-oh-oh, thought I'd write and say I'm still on the road
Trying to share my life with people, most of whom I'll never know
Manitoba skyline goes and goes
Like a thousand miles of canvas stretched fla-at against the sky
Freshly painted colours just waiting to be drie-ie-ied by time

And do you still play hide and seek with a-all the children in the park
Fill their heads with crazy stories till the daylight is blinded by the dark
Do you still dance through a snowfall
While the flakes perform a ballet in mid air-air-air
I can almost hear you laughing, I wish that I-I was there, to share-are

I'm still not used to having people pay to hear me
Guess I'm still a child trying so har-ard to please
Trying to seek approval through my songs
And do you still love me or have I been away too long

And as I look back on my roots grasping for faith I still don't understand
My shadow of youth loosens its ho-old on me with trembling hands
So I carve the words I miss you out in stone, tossed it in the air
Wished I could fly-y besi-ide it there, I'd fly to you back home
Even the strong need someone to break down with and hold

I'm till not used to having people pay to hear me
Guess I'm still a chi-ild trying so har-ard to please
Trying to seek approval through my songs
And do-oo you still love me or have I been away too long

Ooh-hooh-hooh, ooh-ooh-hooh-hooh-hooh-ooh, hooh-ooh
Hooh-ooh-hooh-ooh ...
