Sharon, I'm on the Wrong Side of the Light

from Serious Light EP by Michael Zapruder

lyrics

Sharon, I'm on the wrong side of the light
for the first time I let myself lie
straight out

You said Michael you're American male and white
there's a good chance everything will turn out
all right

But this isn't what I want
This isn't what I wanted when I started

Once I walked in some snow
canvas shoes and listening to music

You put your tongue in my ear
and it's always been there through these many years

Whispering this isn't what you want
This isn't what you wanted when you started

And those conversations we had
Those conversations I remember
About how to live a good life
How we should live in a world
With shit up to our ankles
Shit up to our knees
How do you do it?

Sharon you wanted to be free

Why did you go back to DC?
Why did you leave me to the old fight

Saying this isn't what I want
Want
Want

Sharon, I'm on the wrong side of the light
for the first time I let myself lie
straight out
