I Know The Way

Lyric by Clive James, music by Pete Atkin

I know the way that it will go tomorrow
We'll meet for drinks somewhere
And then we'll take the air
And shortly after that, you'll not be there.

I know the way that it will go the next day
At noon I'll telephone
And hear the ringing tone
And slowly realise I'm still alone.

No, I never get sufficient of your time
To relax in the little that I get:
Well-matched perhaps, but never yet well met.

I know the way that it will go in future
The way it went tonight
An intermittent light
That touches me and then goes out of sight.

I know the way that it will go tomorrow
