Sheryl Crow & Sting - Always On Your Side lyrics

rate me

My yesterdays are all boxed up and neatly put away<br />

But every now and then you come to mind<br />

‘Cause you were always waiting to be picked to play the game<br />

But when your name was called, you found a place to hide<br />

When you knew that I was always on your side<br />

<br />

Well everything was easy then, so sweet and innocent<br />

My demons and my angels reappeared<br />

Leavin' only traces of the man you thought I'd be<br />

Too afraid to hear the words I'd always feared<br />

Leavin' you with only questions all these years<br />

<br />

But is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear<br />

Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear?<br />

Or are you left to wonder, all alone, eternally<br />

“This isn't how it's really meant to be<br />

No it isn't how it's really meant to be”?<br />

<br />

Well they say that love is in the air, never is it clear<br />

How to pull it close and make it stay<br />

Butterflies are free to fly, and so they fly away<br />

And I'm left to carry on and wonder why<br />

Even through it all, I'm always on your side<br />

<br />

Is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear<br />

Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear?<br />

Or are you left to wonder, all alone, eternally<br />

“This isn't how it's really meant to be<br />

No it isn't how it's really meant to be”?<br />

<br />

Well they say that love is in the air, never is it clear<br />

How to pull it close and make it stay<br />

Butterflies are free to fly, why do they fly away?<br />

Leavin' me to carry on and wonder why<br />

Was it you that kept me wandering through this life?<br />

When you know that I was always on your side
