Text: Tift Merritt. Ain't Looking Closely.

Perfect sky, the sun and I
Are going our own way
I can tell, no one else
Gonna know how to love me

But the wind with his hands on my face
And the tall grass, Lord, how it shakes
All of my worries can worry about me for a change

'Cause I ain't looking closely today
No, I ain't looking closely today
Like a river so wide, I'm gonna let it slide away

Long way off, someone calling
Ain't calling my name
Old blue jay, fly away rather than explain

Water carries voices and the Devil may care
Me, I don't have an answer to spare
No use in asking, I'm feeling the same

No, I ain't looking closely today
No, I ain't looking closely today
I'm feeling so high, I'm gonna let it fly away

No, I ain't looking closely today
I ain't looking closely today
Like a river so wide, I'm gonna let it slide away

Oh, I ain't looking closely today
No, I ain't looking closely today
I'm feeling so high, I'm gonna let it fly away
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
