Wrong Side of the Sun

Wrong Side Of The Sun - Sophie Ellis-Bextor

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
