Amitri Del - This Side Of The Morning lyrics

rate me

Nobody's perfect, and that's something that

I'm sure she'll know

'Cos trying to tell her lies from the truth at times

Is like trying to divide ice from snow

When I knew it was over, I jumped into a taxi

And said, "Just guess where to go"

And the driver turned about and said,

"Finding what you want is like

Trying to divide ice from snow"

So here I sit, rolling back to bed

Knowing love is a hazard

That I'd never guessed

But from this side of the morning

I couldn't care less

Nobody's helpless, although

I've never felt this helpless before

And trying to persuade myself not to think about her

Is like trying to tell the clouds not to pour

So I put down the bottle

While in my head time is collapsing

and the currents run cold

So I can curse her memory

But don't try telling me that she was not

An emerald in a mountain of coal

Or that there's a crock of cures for cancer

at the end of the rainbow

So here I sit, rolling back to bed

Knowing love is a hazard

That I'd never guessed

But from this side of the morning

I couldn't care less

And she's the kind of girl who won't forgive

But will forget

So take me frome this party, driver,

Put me back to bed

I wanted to be loved but just got laughed at instead

So if this taxi is for hire

I'll get in the back

Just to hear the friction of the tarmac and the tyres

So nobody's perfect, and that's something that

I'm sure she'll know

And trying to persuade myself

Not to think about her is like

Trying to tell the cockerels not to crow

Or like trying to tell the striker

Not to think about the goal

So here I sit, rolling back to bed

Knowing love is a hazard

That'd I'd never guessed

But from this side of the morning

I couldn't care less
