about

"There are no atheists in the foxholes."

-- Unknown Philosopher

lyrics

Like the Colorado River
Carving churches in the stone
My will will win you over
And you'll never be alone

The days of desperate yearning
Are still fresh inside my mind
The truth of our existence
Is a lie I've left behind

That's the way
That's the way
That's the way it is

I sometimes choose my women
By the color of their skin
I always pick the books I read
By the covers that they're in

The moon I feel is what reveals
The music to my ears
You can't undo with money
What's been done by all these years

That's the way
That's the way
That's the way it is

I can tell the second
That you open up the door
I can tell you've had enough
By the way you ask for more

You can tell me everything
Is going to be okay
But I know what lurks around the corner
Not too far away

That's the way
That's the way
That's the way it is

What the wise men know
The fire fades, but the embers glow
And when it's time to go
I run back home to you

That's the way
That's the way
That's the way it is

When I said I loved you
My sins were yet untold
Now I sit here dying
High upon my righteous throne

The world will keep on turning
Together or apart
But I won't be spinning with it
Until you mend my heart

That's the way
That's the way
That's the way it is
