I On the Opposite Shore Will Be

Somewhere else I am a wife I work the land, I sleep at night I closed the curtains on that life And here I am with my man And I did some things a nice girl shouldn't do I've gotta do better, be more like you For now the dreams will have to do And I on the opposite shore will be Working on this one life patiently And I on the opposite shore will be Working on this one life patiently Maybe I will never return (maybe I will never return) Oh what if I never return (oh what if I never return) To my mother and father seeing the ghosts in the house And they never hear lyrics of the songs They make up the words as they sing along They've got three daughters on three continents Yeah my sisters are much too far I like living here but I'd like to be where they are I like living here but I'd like to be where they are And I on the opposite shore will be Working on this one life patiently And I on the opposite shore will be Working on this one life patiently
