Twist Of Fade - The Way It Is Lyrics

I watch the big hand of the clock
I need no drink to forget
what I've never seen and I never thought
and all the people I met
can't catch the cockroach on my desk
and i can't reach you.
that's the way, the way it is

I think it over how it was
baby, you in my arms
I felt your fingers touch my face
nothing could do me no harmnow you go your wayand I'll go minethat's the way, the way it is

all you gave was your adressI was in need of your heart
you said you were sorry when you left
and I believed in you
now time will tell
what's right or wrong
that's the way, the way it is
