Longing to be by your side (2 versions) (R)

I’ve been drinking too much whiskey I’ve been drinking too much wine
Drinking too much wine
I wrestle with my feelings I’ve been wrestling with my mind
Wrestling with my mind
I’ve been walking round in circles and I’ve been staring at the sky
I’ve felt the heavens moving round I’ve heard sweet voices cry
I’m longing to be by your side

I ask my little questions I’ve come up with little sighs
Give a little sigh
I’ve feel a little little I don’t know the reason why
I don’t know the reason why
I stare down at my shoes and I listen for a sign
Then I feel my heart burst open like the swelling of the tide
I’m longing to be by your side

I wake up in the morning and find you by my side
I find you by my side
I’d lie and watch you moving to the song you had inside
The song you have inside
I felt complete within my skin, I let the music skip and fly
I feel the flow of history but I’m settled in my time
I love to be there by your side

I’ve been dancing with the whiskey I’ve been singing with the wine
I’ve been beaten up by feelings I’ve been wrestling with my mind
I’ve been walking round in circles and I’ve been staring at the sky
I’ve felt the heavens moving round I’ve heard sweet voices cry
I’m longing to be by your side

I’ve been asking great big questions I’ve come up with little sighs
I’ve felt a little little when all I know to do is cry
I’ve stare down at my shoes and I’ve listened for a sign
I’ve felt my heart is shrinking with the ebbing of the of the tide
I’m longing to be by your side

I used to wake up in the morning find you by my side
I’d lie and watch you moving to the song you had inside
I felt complete within my skin, I let the music skip and fly
I knew that history makes fools of us all but I was settled in my time
I love to be there by your side


I was drinking too much whiskey, I was drinking too much wine
I was drinking too much wine
I was drowning in my feelings I was wrestling with my mind
I was wrestling with my mind
I was walking round in circles I was staring at the sky
Not worried if I lived or died

But there was something kept me going, some spark deep down inside
Some spark deep down inside
Burning softly in my dreams at night glowing deep within my mind
Glowing deep within my mind
I was listening for an echo for the turning of the tide
I was longing to be by your side
