That's the Way That'll Be
Gilliam Welch
I lost you awhile agobut still I don't know why.I can't say your namewithout a crow flying by.Gotta watch my back
Now that you turned me aroundGot me walking backwardsinto my hometown.
Throw me a rope
on the rolling tide.
What did you want me to be?
You said it's him or me.
The way you made it,
that's the way it will be.
on the rolling tide.
What did you want me to be?
You said it's him or me.
The way you made it,
that's the way it will be.
It was seven years on the burning shore
with gatling 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.
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.
