Old Familiar Way Lyrics by Of Montreal
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
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

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
