On the Edge of a Cliff

歌詞

I'm really okay thanks there's nothing to witness I said as I looked back from the edge of the cliff The old man looking down lent over the ridge Just looked with a grin as if a blessing had hit him I slumped on the jut of the cliff Just leave me alone this is none of your business "I will" said the old man but just one thing What he said was so lovely it stunned me He said I lay right there once at the edge of the rock I was ready to jump I was ever so lost But this gentleman stopped and said something I never forgot For billions of years since the onset of time Every single one of your ansestors survived Every single person on your mum and dads side Successfully looked after and passed onto you life What are the chances of that like It comes to me once in a while And everywhere I tell folk it gets the best smile And then the old man walked away and out of sight Until the sound of him hiking turned to the sound of silence I just froze in a profound surprise But from down in my pride I found a smile to my eyes And for many days again I'd be passing the same cliff And on many occasions I'd chance on the same thing Laying in the moss in the same way I was Be another man looking like he needed a change of look So I say I lay right there once at the edge of the rock I was ready to jump I was ever so lost But this gentleman stopped and said something I never forgot For billions of years since the onset of time Every single one of your ansestors survived Every single person on your mum and dads side Successfully looked after and passed onto you life What are the chances of that like It comes to me once in a while And everywhere I tell folk it gets the best smile For billions of years since the onset of time Every single one of your ansestors survived Every single person on your mum and dads side Successfully looked after and passed onto you life What are the chances of that like It comes to me once in a while And everywhere I tell folk it gets the best smile
