                   There's a blue eyed girl with a red bow tie
                    and a string of pearls with one good eye
                   in a rainy town the chimney smoke will curl
               no one likes clowns on the other side of the world
                                        
                  and the children know she'll never let me go.
                                        
          there's a one legged priest that tangos with the farmers wife
                   Beauty and the beast is taking her own life
         and a tear on a letter back home turns into a lake of your own
           and a crow turns into a girl on the other side of the world
                                        
              and she tastes like the sea and she's waiting for me
                                        
      in the spring the weeds will show that he brought back the only rose
           and he gave it to his girl on the other side of the world.
                                        
                 And I drink champagne from your thin blue veins
                                        
                 She visits his grave wearing her mother's shawl
                          should I shave or end it all.
                There's an old sailor song that the children know
            as their fingers curl around the other side of the world
                                        
                  on a bone white mare lost in Kathleen's hair
                                        
      in the spring the weeds will show that he brought back the only rose
           and he gave it to his girl on the other side of the world.
