Milky Way Lyrics by Jack McManus

Either Side of Midnight

2008

I'm a castaway, a jaded heart
I look at you and I just fall apart
And I could watch for hours
Entertain the thought
Of saying hello but I won't

When the day's done then we'll all go home
But I don't want to leave here on my own
Oh the days and hours
How they all bought flowers
You're unobtainable in your ivory tower

There's a lot of loneliness
Flowing through this world I guess
I'm on the dark side of the moon
Nobody looking here will assume
I have a million things to say
But you're a million mines away
You almost noticed me today
From your side of the milky way

Tonight as I looked out
There was the universe
I swear that every star I saw
Lined up into the words
The words I have rehearsed

There's a lot of loneliness
Flowing through this world I guess
I'm on the dark side of the moon
Nobody looking here will assume
I have so many things to say
I have a million things to say
But you're a million miles away

There's a lot of loneliness
Flowing through this world I guess
I'm on the dark side of the moon
Nobody looking here will assume
I have so many things to say
But you're a million miles away
You only noticed me today
From your side of the milky way

You almost noticed me today
From your side of the milky way
