life passes slowly just this side of paradise eyes watching skies with salt water rain there you stay watching day follow day living lonely and only just this side of paradise oh it s easy to see when the moon passes by and a cloud dies in a clear black sky living lonely and only just this side of paradise oh it s easy to see when the moon passes by like a leaf spin slow slow maybe that s where the sun and the rain live together maybe it s time to get up and move out forever life passes slowly just this side of paradise eyes watching skies with salt water rain there you stay watching day follow day
