this side of paradise

Manfred Mann / Manfred Mann S Earth Band

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
