She's Not The Same, ©1982 by Gordon Lightfoot

Ah, the living ain't easy 
With all of these false emotions 
Too little devotion and I'm tired of just 
Being alone, she's not the same 
She's a son of a gun, she's a red hot flame 
She lights the sun and conjures up the rain 

Like any good gambler 
I was chained to a wishing well 
I keep wishing in vain, but listen friend 
Don't look now, she's right behind you 
Looking for someone to take her inside 
It thrills her so, it's a rainbow ride 

I'm a little uneasy 
And there ain't much pride inside me 
She don't know how it hurts and I'm telling you 
It's too late now, she's not the same 
She's a red hot kid, she's a crying shame 

Anytime is the right time 
To get on with a new tomorrow 
But I could never let yesterday go 
And when the falling rain makes me sad 
She comes to me in the dreams I've had 
In the morning light, in the dead of night 

Ah, the loving ain't easy 
I let it get the best of me 
She don't know how it hurts and I'm telling you 
It's too late now, she don't talk no more 
She don't make me feel like she did before 
There's too much wait and too much give and take 

I'm a little uneasy 
And there ain't much pride inside me 
She don't know how it hurts and I'm telling you 
It's too late now, she's not the same 
It's too late now, she's not the same 
It's too late now, she's not the same
