Somebody else's shoulder

from Looking West (Remix) by Dermot (Dee) McIlroy

/

lyrics

D G D
Well the fire was burning bright all the children were in bed.
D E A
When you came into the room I knew that something was in you head.
D G D
So you sat there down beside me and you told me of your pain.
D A D
I never knew those things you told me, now our lives won’t be the same.

Chorus
D G D
I’d been away from you too long
D G D
I didn’t realise that things were going wrong.
D G D
And then you told me it was over,
D E A
Now I’m crying on somebody else’ shoulder.


All those times you spent without me all those times you stayed at home

Raising kids all by your own some wishing you were not alone

Anytime we’d be together, we’d pretend that things were right

But in the end you had to leave me after yet another fight

Chorus

When you finally up and left me, it was such a crying shame

I drink each night in different bar rooms ‘til I don’t remember your name.

I don’t regret our time together, just the times we spent apart

But now I’ve got another lover to ease my broken heart.


Chorus
