lyrics

People get ready I might be unsteady
Been walking a straight but narrow line
It’s time for a change, time to make new arrangements
I want to go back to the other side of life

The glass was half-empty surrounded by plenty
I was making up reasons to grouse and gripe
I finally decided to give in and try it
I’d better aspire to the other side of life

I tried walking alone for some time
I’m trying to find my way home
All the signs I see keep leading me back
To the other side

Day-to-day winners, the saint or the sinner
I watched them parade with a bitter grin
I envied the thunder of hundred-hit wonders
In the warmth of the sun on the other side of life

I tried walking alone for some time…
To the other side…

Now I look for good omens and teachable moments
I bet my whole life on a shooting star
I’m happy to say in my own modest way
That I seem to have crossed to the other side of life

I tried walking alone for some time...

He made the record at home and then called on Ron Sexsmith and ex-Barenaked Ladies’ Steven Page to make vocal appearances. ... more
