I'm On Your Side - Luka Bloom

Out on the street you don’t feel safe

In a crowded plaza you’re alone

In this life you love and you hate sometimes

A prisoner of glass and stone

You reach for smells and sounds

That hold you and earth you down

Your heart’s too fast and breaking inside

Your head spins you vicious little lies

Yeah, but I’m on your side

Yeah, I’m on your side

Black dogs and blues move on

You’ll head away for oceans once more

Where nothing is lost or is won

We lighten our load for the shore

The hope I sing rings true

Because in this world there is you

Like the ebb and the flow of the tide

You’ll take the blues in your stride

Yeah, and I’m on your side

Yeah, I’m on your side

I see a warrior who’s walking in light

I see poetry and songs sung true

I see courage in the darkest of your nights

I see armour of love draped around you

I saw you almost not go

I saw you breathe deeply and know

Black dogs whisper lies

You, you are ancient and wise

Yeah, and I’m on your side

Yeah, I’m on your side
