This Side of the Sun - Shame

Way down by the river

There’s a shadow that belongs to you

I know it’s there

Cause that’s where I left mine too

This side of the moon

There’s a moment that belongs to you

I know you give yourself away

Cause I do too

But still

I give myself away

Everyday

To everyone I meet

And you tear yourself apart

For your art

And wonder why you can’t sleep

You can only dream

Far below all the grapes

There’s a flavour that’s a tired taste

You claim it’s an art

All the benches and the grey rained parks

This side of the sun

The promised daughter and forgotten son

I give myself away

Everyday

To everyone I meet

And you tear yourself apart

For your art

And wonder why you can’t sleep

You can only dream

You can only dream
