Standing By Your Side
V1
Leaving this old town behind me.
Packed my martin box and mandolin.
I know there’s no such thing as perfect timing,
But I thank you for the memories you bring.

CH1
Let it rain upon me, I don’t mind.
If I’m standing by your side.
Let the storm come flooding, I’ll be all right.
If I’m standing by your side.

V2
Grieving my old friend reminds me,
Of passing time with Polaroids and riffs.
And your symphony still echoes in the lounge room.
Where you left your cassette tapes and compact disks.

CH2
Let it rain upon me, I don’t mind.
If I’m standing by your side.
Let the storm come flooding, I’ll be all right.
If I’m standing by your side.

BR1
No ones perfect, I know it’s true.
But the closest thing I’ve found to it is you.
Let it rain upon me, I don’t mind.
If I’m standing by your side.

V3
Feelings surely change with the seasons.
Flowers grow and pollen floats away,
And the ground I walk upon is not the reason,
That I’m walking to your door again today.

BR2
No ones perfect, I know it’s true.
But the closest thing I’ve found to it is you*.

CH3
Let it rain upon me, I don’t mind.
If I’m standing by your side.
Let the storm come flooding, I’ll be all right.
If I’m standing by your side.
If I’m standing by your side.
