lyrics

SIDE BY SIDE © 2020 Joe Evans

You say it’s too soon
You won’t walk in my shoes
You walk on by
What if I won’t wait for you
And walk the other way?

We’re on our own
With just our whispers
Of the doubts, that pierce us with a kiss
Wondering what we missed
When we walked the other way

Maybe when the storm subsides
We’ll be walking side by side

You say it’s still the moon
You won’t rise ‘til the lark’s tune fills the air
Where the nightingale sang silently
And flew the other way

We walk alone
At different paces
For after all - there’s nothing left to say
No shelter from the rain
As we walk the other way

Maybe when the rain subsides
We’ll be walking side by side

Can you hear my call?
Words shaken by the storm
Lain broken on the ground
Searching for their sound

What is it you hear?
When you lift them to your ear
What is it you fear?

So you throw the key aside
And listen with your eyes
Rearrange the words
To the pictures in your mind

What is it you hear?
When the cloudbursts disappear
When we’re in the clear?

You say we’re all blind
You’ve made up your own mind
You walk on by
What if I won’t follow you
And walk the other way?

We’re on our own
With just a touchstone
But for now the alchemist won’t serve us
He has nothing left to show us
As we walk the other way

Maybe when the storm subsides
We’ll be walking side by side

Maybe when the storm subsides
We’ll be walking side by side
