Lyrics Sideways to the Sun - Horslips

Sideways to the Sun

We were wise, oh so wise
Not given to lies or deceit
We juggled secrets at our fingertips
Wore diamonds at our feet
We showed you ways to play old airs
We said we could be friends
But when our backs were turned
You got us in the end
We’re the mystery of the lake
When the water’s still
We’re the laughter in the twilight
You can hear behind the hill
We’ll stay around to watch you laugh
Destroy yourselves for fun
But you won’t see us
We’ve grown sideways to the sun
