Sleep won’t sleep her eyes won’t fall
Desire’s going to carry me down to the shore
All night on the other side
I’ll be with you on the other side
Cos Dead they dance their songs can sing
And purple flowers grow where they’ve been
All night on the other side
I’ll be with you on the other side
Endlessly come and dance with me
In the dark I see, a vision of you
I’m going down where they play all night
Where the ghosts show the living how their shadows are so bright
All night on the other side
I’ll be with you on the other side
Recklessly come and dance with me
In the dark I see, a moment of you, only you
Endlessly come and dance with me
In the dark I see, a moment of you, only you
Waves keep crashing on the Malacon
The son keeps playing and we’re rolling on and …
All night on the other side
I’ll be with you on the other side
Sleep won’t sleep her eyes won’t fall
Desire’s going to carry me down to the shore
All night on the other side
I’ll be with you on the other side
