Ways of the World

Who’s that standing by the window

I’ve seen that face someplace before

Now he’s staring at the table

I wonder if he’s here to score

If I could grasp a good clear picture

Like turning on a naked light

Only then could I relax and feel

That I was doing something right

Sights and sounds constantly bombard me

Sway and move from side to side

Find it hard to stop and concentrate

And in the middle of the night

I say…

Wish I knew all the ways of the world

Yes if I only knew

If I knew all the ways of the world

There is something I’d do

Who’s that drowning in the river

I had this dream one time before

I quickly dive into the rescue

And live so happy evermore

But things they get so complicated

And your face it fades away

These are symptoms that I recognize

So to myself I softly say

Wish I knew all the ways of the world

Yes if I only knew

If I knew all the ways of the world

There is something I’d do

Wish I knew all the ways of the world

Yes if I only knew

If I knew all the ways of the world

There is something I’d do
