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
I find it hard to stop and concentrate
And in the middle of the night

Wish I knew all the ways of the world
(Ways of the world)
Yes, if I only knew
If I knew all the ways of the world
(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
(Ways of the world)
Yes, if I only knew
If I knew all the ways of the world
(Ways of the world)
There is something I'd do

Wish I knew all the ways of the world
(Ways of the world)
Yes, if I only knew
If I knew all the ways of the world
(Ways of the world)
There is something I'd do
