Standing At the Sky's Edge

歌詞

Joseph was a good man though he killed his wife His hungry little children, he took their lives This was the end of a desperate man With only love in his eyes, no evil hands. He was standing at the sky's edge And out there who knows what he's thinking, He was sliding down the razor's edge And watched his life slowly sinking, Away, away. Mary was a troubled girl, she stole to eat She had to sell her body to put shoes on her feet Stole a car and tried to get away Now all she hears is the rain on the roof At sky's edge jail. She was standing at the sky's edge And out there who knows what she's thinking She was sliding down the razor's edge And watched her life slowly sinking, Away, away. They were standing at the sky's edge, And out there who knows what they're thinking. They were sliding down the razor's edge And watched their lives slowly sinking, Away, away, away, away, away. Jacob was misguided, he carried a blade, So much fear in the city it carried him away. Young men were fighting and loosing their lives At night as the screech howls in the trees watch Young men die. They were standing at the sky's edge, And out there who knows what they're thinking. They were sliding down the razor's edge, And watched their lives slowly sinking, They were standing at the sky's edge, And out there there's dangerous thinking, They were standing at the mirror's edge, And watched their lives slowly sinking, Away, away, away, away, away.
