Lyrics to Many Are The Ways

Lyrics for Many Are The Ways recorded by Manzanera MacKay

I once read the books of gold
Where the Gods have thier way
I know the myths of old
Still are happening today

And I feel the fates are at my heels
And I hear the roaring chariot wheels
But I know I've made too many deals
There's no way I'll get caught tonight.

I once heard the call to prayer
From a slim minaret
In the blue beyond compare
I could still be there yet

But the city always calls me back
In my heart there's something always cracks
In this world here is nothing that I lack
There are ways to find wisdom tonight

In the dawn beside the lake
In the glow of the flame
I could think I knew that face
But don't dare breath her name

How I wish I heard this story told
As they walked along that dusty road
Even then I still left Thomas cold
So what chance they'll catch me tonight

And I know there's always something there
There is the truth in ancient prayer
Like a breeze borne on the summer air
In the space when day turn to night

And I feel the fates are at my heels
And I hear the roaring chariot wheels
But I know I've made too many deals
There's no way I'll get caught tonight.
