Ron Sexsmith - Seem To Recall lyrics

Well a bad day is when I'm up in the air
A better day is when I'm in repair
Like this it's always been
Oh but then again
I seem to recall a time when

The day ahead was an open book
For every page I read, a second look
What I knew then somehow
Can't put my finger on it now
But I seem to recall doing without

I seem to recall when a daydream
Seemed to be all I'd take with me
My wherewithal
I seemed to recall

Now we're bumming round feeling awkwardly at home
Amidst the "dumbing down" and the talk shows
With nothing much to say
It wasn't always this way
I seem to recall a brighter day

I seem to recall when your light
Seemed to be all all I'd go by
After nightfall
I seem to recall

What I knew then somehow
I've put my finger on it now
I seem to recall that there was no doubt

I seem to recall when your love
Seemed to be all I was so sure of
It could break my fall
I seem to recall

My wherewithal
I seem to recall
