Squeeze - Wrong Side of the Moon lyrics

(Difford/Holland)

Across the ocean she's been waiting to hear

If love's a secret to all the things she fears

Was it tiptoe around my pillow talk

They'll come the only boy she had with any thought

The heart pretends I'm not so far away

She said tomorrow and I'm here today

I miss her now and I say it's only true

I feel like I'm on the wrong side of the moon

I'm forgettin' to remember to forget

All the memories locked in my head

I'll be home then you'll hear what I say

It seems forever started only yesterday

My heart keeps time which passes very slow

When you're lonely without a place to go

I've got the lonesome ocean blues

I feel like I'm on the wrong side of the moon

Across the ocean there's a heart that beats for me

Beat, beating, waiting patiently

Pulls us together when we're apart

Keeps the devil from playing with your heart

But I'll pretend we're not so far away

I'm home tomorrow or maybe it's today

Across the ocean there's nothing else to do

It feels like you're on the wrong side of the moon
