The Way It Will Be |
| I lost you awhile ago |
| Still I don’t know why |
| I can’t say your name |
| Without a crow flying by |
| Gotta watch my back now |
| That you turned me around |
| Got me walking backwards |
| Into my hometown |
| Throw me a rope |
| On the rolling tide |
| What did you want me to be? |
| You said it’s him or me |
| The way you made it |
| That’s the way it will be |
| We were seven years on the Burma shore |
| With Gatling guns and paint |
| Working the lowlands door-to-door |
| Like a Latter-Day Saint |
| Then you turned me out |
| At the top of the stair |
| And you took all the glory |
| That you just couldn’t share |
| I’ve never been so disabused |
| I’ve never been so mad |
| I’ve never been served anything |
| That tasted so bad |
| You might need a friend |
| Any day now, any day |
| Oh my brother, be careful |
| You are drifting away |
| Throw me a rope |
| On the rolling tide |
| What did you want me to be? |
| You said it’s him or me |
| The way you made it |
| That’s the way it will be |
| The way you made it |
| That’s the way it will be |
