I thought l'd be an angel
And fly on astral skies
I thought l'd wear a fanciful disguise
And It's taken me a lotta time
To find out l'm not one
An outlaw on the run
On this side of the sun
I hoped l'd be a champion
And live without a care
I thought l'd change the world
Make it just and fair
But my youth slipped by before my eyes
Much to my surprise
Before I had begun
On this side of the sun
Out on this end of the wind
Winter's coming 'round the bend
You pray for rain, before you know
You're standin' in a foot of snow
So you pull your coat up to your chin
Pick your shovel up again
'Cause your work is never done
On this side of the sun
