Sideways to the Sun - Horslips

We were wise, oh so wise

Not given to lies or deceit

We juggled secrets at our fingertips

Wore diamonds at our feet

We showed you ways to play old airs

We said we could be friends

But when our backs were turned

You got us in the end

We’re the mystery of the lake

When the water’s still

We’re the laughter in the twilight

You can hear behind the hill

We’ll stay around to watch you laugh

Destroy yourselves for fun

But you won’t see us

We’ve grown sideways to the sun
