I'm On Your Side

With AMARTITHI coming up tomorrow, I felt I should post something and I've come up with the lyrics of a song by Paul Kelly that I came across for the first time only a few days ago. The song is "I'm On Your Side" and the first time I heard it, I thought of Baba and the fact that he is always supporting us. However, we tend to forget that and often feel that we alone and unloved.

Here are the lyrics and a link to the guitar chords:

I'm on Your Side 

You've been crying a long long spell

You've been drinking from the Devil's own well

You're just hanging on to your pride

Hold on to me now

 

I'm on your side

I'm on your side when you think there's no one

I'm on your side when darkness falls

I'm on your side

All you gotta do is call

 

The trees on the shoreline are all fresh from the rain

The ship on the water is heading for the main

Open your window, let the good air inside

You don't always know when

There's a change in the tide

 

I'm on your side when others turn on you

I'm on your side when your back's to the wall

I'm on your side

All you gotta do is call

 

I'm on your side though you might not believe it

I'm on your side when the shit rains down

I'm on your side

I'm gonna stand your ground, stand your ground

Ooh, call on me, all you gotta do is call
