lyrics

edge of the earth

she talks to him and the words they run all over
like a swig of gin he licks his lips to taste again
she cracks a smile and she turns her eyes away from him
her thought rose up to the place where thoughts begin

and their atoms moved and did a little dance
to create the mood to make the trance

and they stood at the edge of the earth to see the view
they threw stones into space and she fell and he did too
uh oh

she cradles him in her tiny trembling hands
she sings to him a song they sang as time began
he falls asleep his swollen eyes against her
she strokes his hair and hears them coming up the stairs

and away they go with the other stars
on a crowded train with the little bars

and they stood at the edge of the earth to see the view
they threw stones into space and she fell and he did too
uh oh


they threw stones at her and the blood flowed warm against her back
she closed her eyes and waited for the pain to stop
he blocks the sun a halo cast around his head
the sincerity of his eyes fills her with wonderment

his words are calm a gentle wave of trust
he lifts her up out of the dust

and they stood at the edge of the earth to see the view
they threw stones into space and she fell and he did too
la da da da da da….
