Lyrics

Well, it's been a long time
How should I feel?
What can I say?
With fantastic stories
You present yourself in different ways
Some particular places remembered so well are hard to forget
We've travelled so far now
Then we were young
Hard to impress
But she comes and goes
The other side of life
Sheltering only
The other side of life
These single occasions
We seem to share
Stumble and fall
If you could remember to wave a sign of life, my way
But she comes and goes
The other side of life
Sheltering only
The other side of life
She comes and goes
The other side of life
Sheltering only
The other side of life
Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
The other side of life
