Lately more or less I'm feelin' less incomplete
I got no direction so I follow my feet
When I think on everything my heart skips a beat

Lately, lately

It'll come clean in the wash know that much is true
You cannot foresee that this will happen to you
Best to sit and wait until the sun's breaking through

Lately, lately

Lately you've been talking and you don't make no sense
And from what you say she's got your back to the fence
And from what I see it's hard for you to find strength

Lately, lately

What you need, what's the hurry
And ain't it cruel when people are unkind
What's the fear, what's the worry
Move forward now and leave the past behind

You could waste your whole life through be a sleepy John
Choose your favorite poison on the way to get gone
Is this what you're thinkin' then I've got to move on

Lately, lately

Lately, lately

What you need, what's the hurry
And ain't it cruel when people are unkind
What you need, what's the worry
Move forward now and leave the past behind

Lately I've been lookin' out for bells when they ring
Bells for you and bells for me a beautiful thing
Been a long time coming soon my ship will come in

Lately, lately
[repeat til the end]
