Tindersticks - The Other Side Of The World lyrics

On the other side of the world is an island, The shape of a woman And I know this place From there, there is no escape Y'know she held me Not too tight for she would break me Not too loose for I would slip away To the other side of the world Y'know she held me Like I could leave at any time And I could breathe into the wire And tell myself I'm free When it turned under my feet And the buildings and the trees left with the wind Left me standing In a dirty city street, where I'm a stranger to everyone And everyone is a stranger to me If I could talk to you darlin' I'd tell you all the things I could never say Of how you hid those tears away from me Like I couldn't hear For I love you through this wilderness I'll love you through the sh** I loved you through the best times that there ever was From the other side of the world When it turned under my feet And the buildings and the trees left with the wind Left me standing Now I'm shouting at satellites Screaming down the wires To find you On the other side of the world is an island, The shape of a woman And I know this place I know this place
