Lyrics

On the other side of nowhere,
On the far side of now,
We will be together,
Somehow.

For I shall be the starlight, you will be the moon.
You will be a haunting flute, and I will be, I will be the tune.

On the other side of nowhere
On the far side of now.
We will be together, somehow.

And when we’re done with all the sadness,
Done with all the joy
(Alternate lyric:
Tomorrow, when the song is ended,
When the dance is done)
I shall be the robin,
You will be the bough.
On the other side of nowhere,
On the far side of now.

On the other side of never,
On the far side of here,
Love will be so simple,
So clear.

For I shall be the sapling, you will be the oak.
I will be the firelight, and I will be, I will be the smoke.

Though my heart is ripe for breaking,
I’ll remain true and strong,
Knowing that it won’t be too long
Until we’re swaying in the garden,
Playing in the sea.

When this life is over (Alternate lyric: When the journey’s over)
We will meet somehow
On the other side of nowhere,
On the far side of now.
