Other Side Of Me

(album: Alone Together - 1973)

You think you know me pretty well, but, how can you tell.
You never get inside my head.
The times we talk
We never speak,
We play hide and seek;
So many things are left unsaid.

Why can't you see
What's on the other side of me,
The side of me
That reaches out to you.
Sweet thoughts and dreams,
Like drops of rain of rippling streams
That wind and bend; rivers with no end,
Flowing on the other side of me.

It seems I always get unstrung,
I trip on my tongue
With words that come out something else.
I'm so afraid the things I say
Might chase you away;
I have to hide behind myself.

Why can't you see
What's on the other side of me,
The side of me
That reaches out to you.

Don't let me hide
These feelings that have been denied,
Only you can set me free;
See what's on the other side of me.
Why can't you see
What's on the other side of me,
The side of me
That reaches out to you.

Don't let me hide
These feelings that have been denied,
Only you can set me free;
See what's on the other side of me.
Why can't you see
What's on the other side of me,
The side of me
That reaches out to you.
