My right side is the stronger br Of this body that I own. br All through the day it guides me; br A dependence I have grown: br br Writes the cheques I cannot cash, br And blocks the blessed rain, br Washes me and feeds me, br But it doesn't heal the pain. br br My left side is the weaker br Of this body that I own. br All through the night it hides me; br The only love that I have known: br br Holds a knife while shaking br And the pain it takes away. br Left tries all to free me, br But my right side wants to stay.
