Crosby And Nash On The Other Side Of Town Lyrics

On The Other Side Of Town Lyrics

written by Graham Nash







I wouldn't hurt you for the world

even though yesterday I know I let you down

you were naked on the table

in the arms of another woman

on the other side of town



I left you laughing with a stranger

but I confess that I knew

she was gonna bring you pain

when she offered you a needle

it was long and it was shining

and I saw it bring you down



phosphorescent lights harshly sounding

the buzzing in my ears getting louder

flies bash their brains against the window pane

let's get out of here



I wouldn't hurt you for the world

and the worst of it is

I've got to take you back again

and I don't know how I'll make it

maybe someone else should hold you

on the other side of town



trees are dying in the middle of the courtyard

the daughter in the doorway wanted silver

the other woman is already leaving

let's get out of here



I wouldn't hurt you for the world

and the worst of it is

I've got to take you back again for much more pain

and I don't know I'll make it

maybe someone else should hold you, next time
