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
