Song | Sideways to the Sun |
Artist | Horslips |
Album | Book of Invasions: A Celtic Symphony |
We were wise, oh so wise, | |
Not given to lies or deceit. | |
We juggled secrets at our fingertips, | |
Wore diamonds at our feet. | |
We showed you ways to play old airs. | |
We said we could be friends. | |
But, when our backs were turned, you got us in the end. | |
We're the mystery of the lake when the water's still. | |
We're the laughter in the twilight | |
You can hear behind the hill. | |
We'll stay around to watch you laugh, | |
Destroy yourselves for fun. | |
But, you won't see us, we've grown sideways to the sun. |
