All this time All this changing of mind Foolish pride and bitter denial Way of the world, of me, and my kind Far from grace and weak by design [Chorus:] And when we meet again I will run into your arms And when we meet again I will fall to my knees And rise to your needs Beauty enslaved Slave to the veil Drawn to the flame Of bitter betrayal Way of the world, of me, and my kind Far from grace and weak by design [Chorus] Say goodbye Say my goodbyes and go People and property All that I know Way of the world, of me, and my kind Far from grace and weak by design [Chorus] Ain't that the way of the world?
