Janis Ian On The Way To Me Lyrics

I'm on my way, though I guess one day I'll wake and find it's just another false alarm Somebody told me once -- You can be whatever you want to be, but it don't come free

I'm on my way Though I don't know where I'm going, I wish I'd gone there yesterday Cold wind's blowing at my back but I can't stay Don't you see? It's where I need to be

I'm on my way to me, but I can't see my future for the past If I'd done what you had asked I could have been there in a flash I'm on my way back home, but I don't know tomorrow from today I'm gonna find my way Find my way

I don't know who, but there's a stranger with my face who knows the proper things to do She smiles in all the right places She runs in all the best races I do too, but not for you
I'm on the way, and though the stranger bears my name she just can't sing the songs i play but there's no shame in learning halfway there, you want to be turning Back a while - gonna turn back that dial

I'm on my way to me, but I can't see my future for the past If I'd done what you had asked I could have been there in a flash I'm on my way back home but I don't know tomorrow from today I'm gonna find my way - find my way Find my way back home
