This Side Of The Morning

Nobody's perfect, and that's something that I'm sure she'll know
'Cause tryin' to tell her lies from the truth at times is like tryin' to divide ice from snow
And when I knew it was over, I jumped into a taxi and said, 'Just guess where to go'
and the driver turned about and said, 'Finding what you want is like tring to divide ice from snow'
So here I sit, rolling back to bed
Knowing love's a hazard that I'd never guessed
But from this side of the morning I couldn't care less
I couldn't care less
And nobody's helpless, although I've never felt this helpless before
And tryin' to persuade myself not to think about her is like tryin' to tell the clouds not to pour
So I put down the bottle, while in my head time is collapsing and the currents run cold
So I can curse her memory, but don't try telling me
That she was not the emerald in a mountain of coal, or there's a crock of cures for cancer at the end of the rainbow
So here I sit, rolling back to bed
Knowing love's a hazard that I'd never guessed
But from this side of the morning I couldn't care less
And she's the kind of girl who won't forgive but will forget
So take me from this party driver, put me back to bed
I wanted to be loved but just got laughed at instead
So if this taxi is for hire, I'll get in the back just to feel the friction of the tarmac and the tyres
So nobody's perfect, and that's something that I'm sure she'll know
'Cause tryin' to persuade myself not to think about her is like tryin' to tell the cockerels not to crow
Or like trying to tell the striker not to think about the goal
So here I sit, rolling back to bed
Knowing love's a hazard that I'd never guessed
But from this side of the morning, yeah from this side of the morning, yeah from this side of the morning
I couldn't care less
