Roger Whittaker - The Other Side lyrics

I had spend the whole day lying on the sand Sifting tiny golden gains and dreaming I was tanned My eyelids closed, the burning sun high up in the sky Make swiftly moving scarlet patterns deep within my eye Then the red sun disappeared and a chill came on my skin I felt a shadow on my face and a coldness from within Through slits between my eyelids I saw a girl, kneeling down And the sun, I think it was, formed a halo, or a crown I heard a week and croaking voice I recognize as mine Ask her where she came from, or for some other sign She smiled and closed my eyelids with two fingers of her hand Saying I'm from the other side and soon you'll understand Oh, she held my hands, as if to comfort me and said: "Don't be afraid, I'm your lifelong guide I've come so I can show you how to set your spirit free So listen to the music, as I take you through To the other side. " In that instant I seemed to rise and she holding my arm Entered a bright pa**ageway that gave me no alarm Just a growing love, forgiveness and trust all mixed as one And peace, above all, quit peace of something finished - done As we reached the place of comfort, the strongest point of light I felt her stop me, motionless, the end of headlong flight She entered in the brightness, spoke to others waiting there Then, returning to me, softly said: "Your time is not jet here." Oh, she held my hands, as if to comfort me and said: "Don't be afraid, I'm your lifelong guide I've come so I can show you how to set your spirit free So listen to the music, as I take you through To the other side. " You must return and tell the others waiting to come through Of the love, forgiveness, peace and light that lie and store for you And play to them, the music, play it strong and play with pride So that they won't be afraid to pa** - to the other side Oh, she held my hands, as if to comfort me and said: "Don't be afraid, I'm your lifelong guide I've come so I can show you how to set your spirit free So listen to the music, as I take you through To the other side. " To the other side, to the other side
