Other Side

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 in stillness For the world keeps turning It'll shake you and throw your feet Off the wire Get you out of your slumber Get you out and on the other side
