On the opposite side of the sea   The opposite side of the day   The colors are brighter and glee   The people unusually gray      On the opposite side of the sun   The ground is too hot to stand on   Too hot to stand on so they run      On the opposite side of the waves   The edge of a town to be saved   And quiet by night it’ll keep   For those who still dream there’s no sleep      On the opposite side of the sea you’ll find her   But the waves will pull you under   On the opposite side of the sea you’ll find her   But the waves will pull you under      On the opposite side of the wind   A woman is wearing it thin   The opposite side of her skin      On the opposite side of the blue   Some people are waving at you   They say it is love that they’ve got   You’re almost convinced but you’re not      On the opposite side of the sea you’ll find her   But the waves will pull you under   On the opposite side of the sea you’ll find her   But the waves will pull you under      Reach your hand out   Someone’ll take it   Strip you down and leave you naked   That’s what they do to strangers, you see…   That’s what they do to strangers, you see…      …On the opposite side of the sea
