Beside You
Finn Runga & Dobbyn - Tim Finn Bic Runga Dave Dobbyn Lyrics

Here's to your garden here's to your kids
Cheers to your hard work and the loved ones in your life

I heard you were in the neighbourhood
I heard you were around and wanted to catch up

I've been a long time on the skids
I've had a tough time and been struggling for a while

And baby I'm beside you - you run from the river
I'm here for you and I understand that you may be avoiding something difficult

When it long ran over you
When you were overwhelmed and struggling

This is for you standing up to a bone-chilling wind
This is for your bravery and resilience in the face of adversity

This is for the failures you collected from my sin
This is for the pain and consequences you suffered because of my mistakes

And this is for your lonesome tears I never dried
I'm sorry for not being there for you when you needed comfort

This is for you hanging in in the hope that it never dies
This is for your determination to hold on and keep hope alive

This is for you waiting up though the call never came
This is for your patience and loyalty despite disappointment

For the milk of human kindnesses you collected from our dream
For the compassion and generosity you showed, even in challenging times

And now I'm running here beside you
I'm here with you now, supporting you

This is for the traveler on a blinding desert road
This is for anyone going through a tough journey in life

Good fortune smile upon you and may love be your only load
May good luck and happiness be with you, and may love be your only burden

And this is for the only one who could quell my burning rage
This is for the one person who could calm me down and bring me peace

To anyone whose been a broken man and anyone seen better days
This is for anyone who has been through hard times or who has experienced better times
