Byrds - Americas Great National Pastime

Album:

(Roger McGuinn and Jacques Levy)
See the sun how bright it is
It never was before
See the sun it shines right through
My door but no ones's there
I see warm smiles I never gave
Reflecting in the air
All the things I want today
All the things I wasted on the way
See the earth how sweet it smells
I don't know how it feels
See the earth it slips beneath
My heels as I pass thru
I see tears that I never shed
In every drop of dew
All the things I want today
All the things I wasted on the way
Hear the skies singing songs I could have played
Too busy talking to prove that I was not afraid
See this dried up broken straw
It's turning to rot
See this dried up broken straw
Forgotten left behind
I see things that I never done
A blowing in the wind
All the things I want today
All the things I wasted
All the things I want today
All the things I wasted
All the things I want today
All the things I wasted on the way
