The Way It Will Be

Artist：gillian welch
Songs Title：the way it will be

I lost you a while ago

But still I don't know why

I can't say your name

Without a crow flying by

Got to watch my back

Now that you've turned me around

Got me walking backwards

In my hometown

Throw me a rope

On the rolling tide

What did you want me to be

He said it's him or me

The way you made it

That's the way it will be

It was seven years on the burnin' shore

gatling With guns and paint

Working the lowlands door-to-door

Like a latter day saint

Then you turn me out

At the top of the stairs

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

He 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
