This Side Of Heaven
David McWilliams
Tipparade
Songtekst
This side of heaven
Where the serpent moves, my son
There is no truth except for fact
No lies to be undone
There is no priest or pauper
Who can't find a place to run
No singer singing melodies
And songs that can't be sung
Ah, don't try too hard to loose
The die is cast before you move
Good, bad, indifferent
Who tells you what to be
There is no saint or sinner
Who can't see what he can see
The fish swim in the ocean
And the eagle flies so free
What happened to the preacher boy
Who told lies for you and me
Ah, don't try too hard to loose
The die is cast before you move
Though your visions seem unreal
Take them where the thieves can't steal
Kings and princes do not steal
Only borrow what they feel
Fool upon a hilltop
With a flower in his hand
He doesn't know what it's doing there
Just doesn't understand
Nothing in his life is his
And nothing's really planned
Who's to say that he's a fool at all
Or where sanity should land
Ah, don't try too hard to loose
The die is cast before you move
