Colin Hay - Ways Of The World lyrics

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
