Beside You - Tim Finn, Bic Runga, Dave Dobbyn

Here’s to your garden here’s to your kids

I heard you were in the neighbourhood

I’ve been a long time on the skids

And baby I’m beside you — you run from the river

When it long ran over you

This is for you standing up to a bone-chilling wind

This is for the failures you collected from my sin

And this is for your lonesome tears I never dried

This is for you hanging in in the hope that it never dies

And baby I’m beside you — you run from the river

When it long ran over you

This is for you waiting up though the call never came

For the milk of human kindnesses you collected from our dream

And this is for your lonesome tears I never dried

This is for you hanging in in the hope that it never died

And baby I’m beside you — you run from the river

When it long ran over you

And now I’m running here beside you

And now I’m running here beside you

This is for the traveler on a blinding desert road

Good fortune smile upon you and may love be your only load

And this is for the only one who could quell my burning rage

To anyone whose been a broken man and anyone seen better days

Baby I’m beside you

And now I’m running here beside you

And now I’m running here beside you
