On The Other Side, Of The World

There's a blue eyed girl with a red bow tie

And a string of pearls with one good eye

In a rainy town the chimney smoke will curl

No one likes clowns on the other side of the world

And the children know she'll never let me go.

There's a one legged priest that tangos with the farmers wife

Beauty and the beast is taking her own life

And a tear on a letter back home turns into a lake of your own

And a crow turns into a girl on the other side of the world

And she tastes like the sea and she's waiting for me

In the spring the ****s will show that he brought back the only rose

And he gave it to his girl on the other side of the world.

And I drink champagne from your thin blue veins

She visits his grave wearing her mother's shawl

Should I shave or end it all.

There's an old sailor song that the children know

As their fingers curl around the other side of the world

On a bone white mare lost in kathleen's hair

In the spring the ****s will show that he brought back the only rose

And he gave it to his girl on the other side of the world.
