Other Side of the World - KT Tunstall

A penny has two faces When one of them you have to choose Between the two places One must win and one must lose You say you have a sense of freedom Whenever you're away from here Put your hand on your heart and tell me That you never shed a tear Ooh, what you doing babe On the other side of the world With all those fancy girls? Never believe their hearts are stolen They may warm your bed when you're alone But I can warm your heart instead On the other side of the world Life is only snakes and ladders Sometimes up and sometimes down It doesn't really matter, baby When you've got good love around Ooh, but you won't find that lovin' On the other side of the world With all those crazy girls Never believe their hearts are stolen They may warm your bed when you're alone But I can warm your heart instead On the other side of the world I'll be waitin' for you Never believe their hearts are stolen They may warm your bed when you're alone But I can warm your heart instead On the other side of the world On the other side of the world On the other side of the world On the other side of the world On the other side of the world 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 weeds 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 weeds will show that he brought back the only rose And he gave it to his girl on the other side of the world.

The girl Alone in her head The tears After what he said The fear Alone in the dark The pain She carries in her heart When all you've ever wanted is the freedom that you lack If you find a way to get up Keep on running and don't look back The other side of love The other side of love The other side of love The other side of love The boy So much to give The lies He's forced to live The son The father and his ghost The faith Hurts him the most When all you ever wanted it is the freedom that you lack If you find a way to get up Keep on running and don't look back The other side of love The other side of love The other side of love The other side of love Somewhere Hiding in the shadows There's something Everybody knows When all you ever wanted it is the freedom that you lack If you find a way to get up Keep on running and don't look back The other side of love The other side of love The other side of love The other side of love We are angels We are demons We are children all the same We are angels We are demons We are children all the same When all you ever wanted it is the freedom that you lack If you find a way to get up Keep on running and don't look back The other side of love The other side of love The other side of love The other side of love We are angels We are demons We are children all the same We are angels We are demons We are children all the same We are angels We are demons We are children all the same We are angels We are demons We are children all the same

There's blood on the floor And you're not even moving Don't really know if it's mine or yours But you ain't moving Eyes are wide as you grin at me You know there's a place where you'd rather be If you should die and I survive How could I go on knowing that I'm still alive Here breathing There's a beast that's living deep within me Forcing me to feed all my needs Yeah he's in me And he brought us here to end our fears To wave goodbye to all of the tears To start a new life on the other side of the river Well my world would be over Hold on, hold on, I won't be long Wait for me, man, I won't be long You were such in a rush to reach the other side Look at yourself with that look in your eye Smiling wide and pre-occupied with that river Well my world would be over

He's gone 2000 miles It's very far The snow is falling down Gets colder day by day I miss you The children will sing He'll be back at christmas time In these frozen and silent nights Sometimes in a dream you appear Outside under the purple sky Diamonds in the snow sparkle Our hearts were singing It felt like christmastime 2000 Miles Is very far through the snow I'll think of you Wherever you go He's gone 2000 miles It's very far The snow is falling down Gets colder day by day I miss you I can hear people singing It must be christmastime I hear people singing It must be christmastime

A thousand years is a long, long time Even for a star up in the sky I could count the tears and the long, long nights But I'd rather just remember how you smiled In a thousand years I know that our love will still be here So close your eyes, my dear Knowing that our love is going to last one thousand years The time flies by in a blinking eye No matter how we try to make it last But if souls are strong they'll go on and on And we will hardly know the time has passed In a thousand years I know that our love will still be here So close your eyes, my dear Knowing that our love is going to last one thousand years We'll disappear if we can keep each other here Inside our hearts We will never be apart, so don't you fear Dry your tears In a thousand years I know that our love will still be here In a thousand years, oh So close your eyes, my dear Knowing that our love is going to last one thousand years
