Douglas Ray Jaffe - By My Side Lyrics

At work making paper planes
Dreaming of riding long-distance trains
Dwelling on a secret that lives inside of me
Who can I let see my small-talking paintings of life
Bringing them into the candlelight
Reflecting kingdoms turning to salt for the
Strangest tears they are at fault
And if it rains, you won't hear me complain
Cause I have you by my side
If tomorrow rains
You won't hear me complain
Cause I have you by my side
I'm just punching time with nothing more
Walking like a prisoner on the cement floor
This world is a thief stealing emotions
A storm blows, the driftwood remains
And if it rains, you won't hear me complain
Cause I have you by my side
If tomorrow rains, you won't hear me complain
Cause I have you by my side
How the repetition aches, it aches
Now I'm fishing for the moon on a lake
Seems like I've lost the oars to my boat
And my compass, it just floats
And if it rains, you won't hear me complain
Cause I have you by my side
If tomorrow rains, you won't hear me complain
Cause I have you by my side
