Other Side Lyrics




Wake in the morning

It's cold in the valley

Wind comes in gusts

Hits you like the night

Clouds up above you

They're moving in pictures

Soldiers and boatmen

Sail ships 'cross the sky

The fall of a raindrop

Returns blue to the daylight

Your mind must return

To behind your eyes



So get it out of the gutter

Get it out of the other side



Songs sung in secret

All through the valley

One day I'll be great

Or one day will I

Will I have to suffer

All that I'm thinking

And fall with the luck

Of the tumbling dice



Just get me out of where I'm sinking

Get me out and on the other side



Athena looks down and she

Begs you with reason

To hold your grief with you

In your hands for a while

There's no use for stillness

For the world keeps turning

It'll shake you and throw

Your feet off the wire



To get you out of your slumber

Get you out and on the other side
