Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Wrong Side of the Sun (Phoenix Rising) lyrics

If I'd been a prophet, I would tell you how the future lies If I'd been a phoenix, raise us up through embers and fly But together we wandered Through a land we didn't know All we wanted for our love Was a chance to let it grow I prayed so hard the rain would come To calm down the flames but now they've won No love in a drought Standing the wrong side of the sun If I'd been a loner, I would save myself, stay unaware If I'd been a dreamer, I would float away and not care But the seasons, they were sleeping And the fates weren't on our side And only summer eternal Never harvest or survive I prayed so hard the rain would come To calm down the flames but now they've won No love in a drought Standing the wrong side of the sun We never thought to keep it shaded We thought the sun would keep our love alive She took until the colors faded And it was too late then to run and hide I prayed so hard the rain would come To calm down the flames but now they've won Our love's all burnt out Oh how did it go so very wrong? We watched as the heat seared through our skin Our hearts too exposed, the air too thin No love in a drought Standing the wrong side of the sun Nothing more to say, what's done is done Standing on the wrong side of the sun
