The Other Side Of The World - Tindersticks

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 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

Like I couldn’t hear

For I love you through this wilderness

I’ll love you through the shit

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 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
