South Side of the Sky Lyrics
[Verse 1]
A river, a mountain to be crossed
The sunshine in mountains sometimes lost
Around the south side
So cold that we cried
[Chorus]
Were we ever colder on that day?
A million miles away
It seemed from all of eternity, yeah
[Verse 2]
"Move forward", was my friend's only cry
In deeper to somewhere we could lie
And rest for the day
With cold in the way
[Chorus]
Were we ever colder on that day?
A million miles away
It seemed from all of eternity, yeah
[Verse 3]
The moments seemed lost in all the noise
A snow storm, the stimulating voice
Of warmth of the sky
Of warmth when you die
[Chorus]
Were we ever warmer on that day?
A million miles away
It seemed from all of eternity, yeah

[Verse 4]
The moments seemed lost in all the noise
A snow storm, the stimulating voice
Of warmth of the sky
Of warmth when you die
[Chorus]
Were we ever warmer on that day?
A million miles away
It seemed from all of eternity, yeah
[Verse 5]
The sunshine in mountains sometimes lost
The river can disregard the cost
And melt in the sky
The warmth when you die
[Chorus]
Were we ever warmer on that day?
A million miles away
It seemed from all of eternity, yeah
