The way it goes Lyrics

Is this the way it goes?
Can anybody answer me?
Does it always show
When you never want it to?

And through my thoughts a glossy rainbow
Fading fast in shades of grey,
Nothing ever changes
When you really want it to.

And I see the strangest faces
In the crowds passing over me.
And the only saving grace is
I'm protected by my memory.
So if this is the way it goes
In time I shall find a friend.
For he knows how to mend my mind,
I can't complain.

There I go again
Holding on to yesterday,
Chasing roads that run away
From things I want to see.

And in the haze a fresh horizon
Dawning dreams lie silently.
Will I find a way to reach them?
Are they what they seem to be?

Still I see the strangest faces
In the crowds passing over me.
And the only saving grace is
I'm protected by my memory.

Yes I see the strangest faces
In the crowds passing over me.
And the only saving grace is
I'm protected by my memory.

Do bee doo wah, do bee doo wah.
Do bee doo wah, do bee doo wah.
