slawlor Lyr Req: By Way of Sorrow (Julie Miller) (4) By Way of Sorrow ('Blue Pony' version) 08 Nov 99


I've been trying to decipher the lyrics for this from the CD, with limited success.

The chorus lyrics as written in the liner notes are:
You have come by way of sorrow,
You have come by way of tears.
But you'll reach your destiny,
Meant to find you all these years.

However, when she's singing it, Julie Miller has changed the last three lines of the chorus the second and third time it comes around. This is what I've been able to extrapolate:

Second chorus:
You have come by way of sorrow,
You have taken a long way home (or maybe "a lonely road"),
But ??????????
You will some day come to know.

Third chorus:
You have come by way of sorrow,
You’ve come over a stony path,
But ??????????????????
You will lay your burden down.

Has anyone else been able to determine just what these words are? By the way, I already checked the version on the "Cry Cry Cry" album; they just used the words from the first chorus each time.

Thanks,
Susan Lawlor
