Lyrics

I don't drink as much as I used to

I have reduced the amount I drink compared to my past habits.

Lately it just ain't my style

Recently, drinking is not in line with my current preferences or behavior.

And the hard times don't hurt like they used to

The difficult times no longer cause as much pain as they used to.

They pass quicker like when I was a child

Challenging moments pass more swiftly, reminiscent of childhood.


Somehow I've learned to listen

I have developed the ability to pay attention and understand.

For a sound like the sun going down

I listen for a calming sound, akin to the sunset.

In the magic the morning is bringing

The morning carries a magical quality that I find enchanting.

It keeps my feet on the ground

This enchanting morning sensation helps keep me grounded.


Don't the midsummer days sit so heavy

The days in the middle of summer feel burdensome.

But don't they flow like a breeze through your mind

Despite their weight, these days flow through the mind like a gentle breeze.

And nothing occurs in a hurry

Things don't happen hastily; there is no rush to compensate for lost time.

To make up for someone's lost time

Nothing occurs quickly to make up for time lost by someone.


Somehow I've learned to listen

I've honed the skill of attentive listening.

For a sound like the sun going down

I listen for a peaceful sound, similar to the sunset.

In the magic the morning is bringing

The magical quality of the morning continues to captivate me.

It keeps my feet on the ground

This enchanting morning sensation helps to keep me grounded.


Somehow I've learned to listen

I've refined my ability to listen attentively.

For a sound like the breeze dying down

I listen for a calming sound, reminiscent of the breeze subsiding.

In the magic the morning is bringing

The magical quality of the morning continues to captivate me.

It keeps my feet on the ground

This enchanting morning sensation helps keep me grounded.
