Lyrics: Cerian Holland
Music: Cerian Holland
I stretch the night into day
“It’s a backwards way to live” they say
I stretch the hours beside
But it won’t turn the tide of time away
And a choir of birds are singing songs
That say “you don’t belong”
And the morning bells are ringing
Singing “time goes on and on”
And the world will turn without me
I’ll be late to say goodbye
If you ever saw the wrong side
Did you stop to wonder why?
I’m on the wrong side of the morning
And the wrong side of the night
Now the light side is dawning
I’ll be left cos I couldn’t be right
Here in no-man’s land
There are no plans
But it doesn’t last
No-one to hold my hand
As I watch the sands of time
Slide past
And a choir of birds are singing songs
That say “you don’t belong”
And the morning bells are ringing
Singing “time goes on and on”
And the world will turn without me
I’ll be late to say goodbye
If you ever saw the wrong side
Did you stop to wonder why?
I’m on the wrong side of the morning
And the wrong side of the night
Now the light side is dawning
I’ll be left cos I couldn’t be right
The birds are singing like a symphony
For an audience of one
I know I’m meant to be asleep
For yesterday is gone
The birds are singing like a symphony
For an audience of one
I know it isn’t meant for me
Now a new day has begun
I’m on the wrong side of the morning
And the wrong side of the night
Now the light side is dawning
And I’m left cos I couldn’t be right
But the wrong side of the morning
Is the bright side of the night
When you stayed awake through the silence
To stop and wonder: why
