On The Outside Lyrics - Singles - Voisine Roch

(Roch Voisine/James Campbell) 

She was a woman troubled like a river 

Trees all around her 

But I only ever came near enough 

To hear her voice 

On the outside 

She was a woman inside a castle 

Knights all around her 

And I never found myself strong enough 

To reach and touch 

From the outside 

And every time I tried to swim across 

I thought I'd drown 

And every time I tried to climb that wall 

I thought I'd fall 

On the outside 

She was a woman frozen in a picture 

Frozen there forever 

With a smile that keeps me so warm inside 

But still I hide 

On the outside 

She was a woman farther than forever 

Nearer not together 

And I only wish I was back in time 

'Cause she'd be mine 

On the outside 

But every time I tried to find the love I left behind 

And every time I tried to make her mine 

Again I'd find myself 

On the outside
