Grace Cummings Other Side
Wake in the morning
It's cold in the valley
Wind comes in gusts
Hits you like the night
Clouds up above you
They're moving in pictures
Soldiers and boatmen
Sail ships 'cross the sky
The fall of a raindrop
Returns blue to the daylight
Your mind must return
To behind your eyes
So get it out of the gutter
Get it out of the other side
Songs sung in secret
All through the valley
One day I'll be great
Or one day will I
Will I have to suffer
All that I'm thinking
And fall with the luck
Of the tumbling dice
Just get me out of where I'm sinking
Get me out and on the other side
Athena looks down and she
Begs you with reason
To hold your grief with you
In your hands for a while
There's no use for stillness
For the world keeps turning
It'll shake you and throw
Your feet off the wire
To get you out of your slumber
Get you out and on the other side
