作词 :  

There's a blue eyed girl with a red bow tie

and a string of pearls with one good eye

in a rainy town the chimney smoke will curl

no one likes clowns on the other side of the world

and the children know she'll never let me go.

there's a one legged priest that tangos with the farmers wife

Beauty and the beast is taking her own life

and a tear on a letter back home turns into a lake of your own

and a crow turns into a girl on the other side of the world

and she tastes like the sea and she's waiting for me

in the spring the ****s will show that he brought back the only rose

and he gave it to his girl on the other side of the world.

And I drink champagne from your thin blue veins

She visits his grave wearing her mother's shawl

should I shave or end it all.

There's an old sailor song that the children know

as their fingers curl around the other side of the world

on a bone white mare lost in Kathleen's hair

in the spring the ****s will show that he brought back the only rose

and he gave it to his girl on the other side of the world.
