Il testo della The side of the sun

Writer gary rex tanner

I thought l'd be an angel and fly on astral skies
I thought l'd wear a fanciful disguise
And it's taken me a lotta time
To find out l'm not one
An outlaw on the run, on this side of the sun

I hoped l'd be a champion and live without a care
I thought l'd change the world, make it just and fair
But my youth slipped by before my eyes
Much to my surprise
Before i had begun, on this side of the sun

Out on this end of the wind
Winter's.coming 'round the bend
You pray for rain, before you know,
You're standin' in a foot of snow
So you pull your coat up to your chin
Pick your shovel up again
'cause your work is never done, on this side of the sun

I took it to a fortune teller
I thought that she might help me
She looked into my eyes and smiled mysteriously
But she didn't know as much as me
I stared back, dejectedly
'cause i know where she's from, this side of the sun

Out behind these prison walls,
Dark clouds come and hard rains fall
You pause a moment for a dream,
They row you gently down the stream
You wake up angry in the night, jump up, ready for a fight
But the war is never won on this side of the sun
Now they tell me music can free a person's soul

So i sing a song everywhere i go
But it's not much oifferent than before
I'm still looking for the door
I wonder if there is one, on this side of the sun
