There's a blue eyed girl with a red bow tieAnd a string of pearls with one good eyeIn a rainy town the chimney smoke will curlNo one likes clowns on the other side of the worldAnd the children know she'll never let me go.There's a one legged priest that tangos with the farmers wifeBeauty and the beast is taking her own lifeAnd a tear on a letter back home turns into a lake of your ownAnd a crow turns into a girl on the other side of the worldAnd she tastes like the sea and she's waiting for meIn the spring the weeds will show that he brought back the only roseAnd he gave it to his girl on the other side of the world.And I drink champagne from your thin blue veinsShe visits his grave wearing her mother's shawlShould I shave or end it all.There's an old sailor song that the children knowAs their fingers curl around the other side of the worldOn a bone white mare lost in kathleen's hairIn the spring the weeds will show that he brought back the only roseAnd he gave it to his girl on the other side of the world.
