The First Sight by Teenage Fanclub Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Only smoke and mirrors, they deceive and they lie
False flags are raised, playing tricks with my mind
One day I'll rise to the clearest light of the sun
To simpler ways I'll return
I'll return

[Chorus]
Will I ever get to see, will I ever get to see
The first sight of a heart that's true?
If I ever deserve, if I ever deserve
The first sight of a real breakthrough

[Verse 2]
Through the vale of sadness I have wandered the years
Been lost in distance as the days disappear
All things will pass, it's just the way it's always been planned
Blow by blow I withstand
I withstand

[Chorus]
Will I ever get to see, will I ever get to see
The first sight of a heart that's true?
If I ever deserve, if I ever deserve
The first sight, so perfectly new
[Chorus]
If I ever get to see, if I ever get to see
The first sight of a heart so true
Will I ever deserve, will I ever deserve
The first sight of a real breakthrough?
