Verse 1
Well I came a long way to be here today and
I left you so long on this avenue...
And here I stand in the strangest land not
Knowing what to say or do...
As I gaze around at these strangers in town I
guess the only stranger is me...
Chorus
And I wonder, yes I wonder... is this the
way life's meant to be...
Verse 2
Although it's only a day since I was taken away and left
standing here looking in wonder...
Oh the crowd at my feet maybe it's just the old street but
every thing that I Know lies under...
And when I see what they've done to this place that was
home, shame is all that I feel... Ohhh
Then Chorus
Bridge
Too late too late to cry the people say
Too late for you too late for me...
You've come so far, nah you know ev'ry thing my
Bass solo
Then Chorus
As I wonder around this wreck of a town where people
never speak aloud... with it's ivory towers and it's plastic
flowers I wish I was back in 1981
Just to see your face in stead of this place now I know what
you mean to me. Ohhhh
Then chorus
Through oh la la's , , , ,
And I wonder, yes I wonder wonder wonder wonder is this
the way life's meant to be. Ohhhhhhh
Is this the way life's meant to be mmmmm
Is this the way life's meant to be, I wanna know now
Is this the way life's meant to be.
