This Side Of Paradise

Manfred Mann

Life passes slowly just this side of paradise

Eyes watching skies with salt water rain

There you stay watching day follow day

Living lonely and only just this side

of paradise

Oh it's easy to see when the moon passes by

And a cloud dies in a clear black sky



Living lonely and only just this side

of paradise

Oh it's easy to see when the moon passes by

Like a leaf spin slow slow



Maybe that's where the sun and the rain

live together



Maybe it's time to get up and move out

forever



Life passes slowly just this side of paradise

Eyes watching skies with salt water rain

There you stay watching day follow day
