This Side Of The Morning Lyrics - Waking Hours - Del Amitri

Nobody's perfect and that's something that 

I'm sure she'll know 

'Cause trying to tell her lies from the truth at times 

Is like trying to divide ice from snow 

And when I knew it was over, I jumped into a taxi 

And said, "Just guess where to go" 

And the driver turned about and said 

"Finding what you want is like trying to divide ice from snow" 

So here I sit, rolling back to bed 

Knowing love's a hazard that I'd never guessed 

But from this side of the morning 

I couldn't care less, I couldn't care less 

And nobody's helpless, although 

I've never felt this helpless before 

And trying to persuade myself not to think about her 

Is like trying to tell the clouds not to pour 

So I put down the bottle 

While in my head time is collapsing 

And the currents run cold 

So I can curse her memory 

But don't try telling me that she was not 

An emerald in a mountain of coal 

Or that there's a crock of cures for cancer 

At the end of the rainbow 

So here I sit, rolling back to bed 

Knowing love's a hazard 

That I'd never guessed 

But from this side of the morning 

I couldn't care less 

And she's the kind of girl who won't forgive 

But will forget 

So take me from this party, driver 

Put me back to bed 

I wanted to be loved 

But just got laughed at instead 

So if this taxi is for hire, I'll get in the back 

Just to fear the friction of the tarmac and the tyres 

So nobody's perfect and that's something that I'm sure she'll know 

Trying to persuade myself, not to think about her is like 

Trying to tell the cockerels not to crow 

Or like trying to tell the striker not to think about the goal 

So here I sit, rolling back to bed 

Knowing love's a hazard 

That'd I'd never guessed 

But from this side of the morning 

Yeah, from this side of the morning 

Yeah, from this side of the morning 

I couldn't care less
