Different Sides lyrics

We find ourselves on different sides

Of a line nobody drew

Though it all may be one in the higher eye

Down here where we live it is two

I to my side call the meek and the mild

You to your side call the Word

By virtue of suffering I claim to have won

You claim to have never been heard

Both of us say there are laws to obey

But frankly I don’t like your tone

You want to change the way I make love

I want to leave it alone

The pull of the moon, the thrust of the sun

Thus the ocean is crossed

The waters are blessed while a shadowy guest

Kindles a light for the lost

Both of us say there are laws to obey

But frankly I don’t like your tone

You want to change the way I make love

I want to leave it alone

Down in the valley the famine goes on

The famine up on the hill

I say that you shouldn’t, you couldn’t, you can’t

You say that you must and you will

You want to live where the suffering is

I want to get out of town

Come on, baby, give me a kiss

Stop writing everything down

Both of us say there are laws to obey

But frankly I don’t like your tone

You want to change the way I make love

I want to leave it alone

Both of us say there are laws to obey

But frankly I don’t like your tone

You want to change the way I make love

I want to leave it alone…
