Old Familiar Way Lyrics

The song Old Familiar Way is performed by Of Montreal in the album named The Gay Parade in the year 1999 .



Neither the flowers on the hill
or the moonlight on the sea
Have ever looked so blue
And everything looks new again
In that old familiar way


The view from my room
of the ships on the bay
Had come to bore me through and through
But they suddenly seem new again
In that old familiar way


The delicate ballet of blossoms falling off a tree
Had long gone unnoticed by me
I'm stunned by what now I finally see
It's amazing the wonders you can find
Just by stepping outside


There's a skip in my step a divine state of joy
In everything I do
Cause I am feeling new again
In that old familiar way


When I'm awoken from my dreams
by a cuckoo on the roof
I always join in too
And every sound sounds new again
In that old familiar way


The life I used to know
when I was busy always on the go
Left me with nothing to show
Now I feel that I can honestly say
I'm living a suitable life
I'm glad I finally got it right


Welcome to the Gay Parade
