[ti:Not The Way It Is] [ar:The Grapes Of Wrath] [al:Now And Again] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Not The Way It Is - The Grapes Of Wrath [00:08.39]I should write her a letter [00:09.87] [00:10.81]I suppose I should write her a letter [00:12.87] [00:13.89]What the hell [00:14.70]What the hell will I tell her [00:16.18] [00:16.94]That she would want to hear [00:18.52] [00:19.32]But that she deserves to hear [00:21.99]And I end up protesting what she can bear [00:25.83] [00:26.75]Do I come up with a reason [00:28.60] [00:29.59]Or am I inventing a reason [00:31.69] [00:32.94]Something with so many pieces [00:34.97]That the only thing that's clear [00:37.25] [00:37.94]If there's anything that's clear [00:40.32] [00:40.87]Is whatever was is no longer here [00:44.49] [00:45.36]Wait until what I should say [00:48.45]And maybe go away but that's not the way it is [00:52.97] [00:54.69]And I hope she'll understand [00:57.11] [00:57.74]Even though I know I may never see her again [01:05.35] [01:28.82]I could hope and I could wish and I could pray [01:32.81] [01:33.78]But that doesn't really change a thing [01:37.83] [01:41.01]And if I see her I don't know if I could watch [01:45.17] [01:46.64]And what there was turned into God knows what [01:51.85]So so what about that letter [01:55.36] [01:56.27]Not that it could make anything better [01:58.49] [01:59.64]The fact is I feel like a coward [02:01.69] [02:02.73]Pretending what happened hadn't [02:05.39]And nothing ever would despite the fact it did [02:09.97] [02:10.59]Could it be erased without rubbing it in her face [02:14.40] [02:15.28]Wait until what I should say [02:18.27]Would maybe go away but that's not the way it is [02:22.61] [02:24.59]And I hope she'll understand [02:27.03] [02:27.70]Even though I know I may never see her again
