I have heard this song sung by The Waterboys. Due to my poor english, I miss some words. Any help? Thank you

Ezio, Italy

Here's the incomplete lyrics:

___ ____ as much as I used to/'cause Lily ___ just ___ my style(?)/and the heart gems ____ ___ ____/they pass quicker like when I was a child /and somehow I've learned how to listen/to a sound like a song going down/in the magic the morning is bringing/there's a song for the life I've found/it keeps my feet on the ground___ ____ ____ daisy(?) so heavy/they just flow like a breeze ___ my mind/and nothing appears in a ____/____ _____ _____ someone lost time/ and somehow I've learned how to listen/to a sound like a song going down/in the magic the morning is bringing/there a song for the friend I've found/she keeps my feet on the ground (x4)

I know the first verse:

I don't drink as much as I used to. Lately, that just ain't my style. And hard times don't last like they used to; They pass quickly, like when I was a child.

And somehow, I learned how to listen.....etc.

Tony Rice recorded this song on his "Me and My Guitar" album.

A song for the life
(Rodney Crowell)

I don't drink as much as I used to
'cos lately that just ain't my style.
And the hard times don't hurt like they ought'a
they pass quickly like when I was a child.
 
And lately I've learnt how to listen
to a sound like the sun going down
In the magic that morning is bringing
there's a song for the life I have found
 
It keeps my feet on the ground
 
Now the midsummer days ain't so heady
they just drift like a breeze through my mind.
And nothing appears in a hurry
as if to make up for some old long-lost time
 
And lately I've learnt how to listen
to a sound like the sun going down
In the magic that morning is bringing
there's a song for the friends I have found
They keep my feet on the ground...
They keep my feet on the ground...
They keep my feet on the ground
