By Way Of Sorrow

Dar Williams and Lucy Kaplanski

You've been taken by the wind

You have known the kiss of sorrow

Doors that would not take you in

Outcast and a stranger



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

Meant to find you all these years



You have drunk a bitter wine

With none to be your comfort

You who once were left behind

Will be welcome at love's table



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

Meant to find you all these years



All the nights that days have slept

Will awake to the days of laughter

From the tears that you have wept

You'll dance in freedom ever after



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

Meant to find you all these years

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

Meant to find you all these years
