The Way Of All Things - Madeleine Peyroux

I never thought I would

Never wanted to

Never learned how

As others do

It was me who’d sigh

Was me who’s ask

And I’m guessing me

Who writes this (?)

Maybe that is the way of all things

The way that a glance carries romance

On the quiet of strings

The way that you dance

The way that you sing

Maybe that is the way of all things

It’s someone else’s night

It’s someone else’s air

Someone else’s right

Someone else’s prayer

I hear a whisper close

Pull myself away

And when I speak a name

I thought I’d never say

Maybe that is the way

Of all things

They way that all hopes

Play their jokes

And have their sting

And the way that you dance

The way that you sing

Maybe that is the way of all things

Whatever way all things must go

Maybe better we never know

Maybe that is the way

Of all things

The way that our plans fake (?)

So faithfully bring

Its the way that you dance

The way that you sing

Maybe that is the way of all things
