This Side Of The Sun Lyrics - Don Williams

(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. 

--- Instrumental --- 

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 the 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 different than before 

I'm still looking for the door 

I wonder if there is one, 

On this side of the sun...
