The Edge of the World Lyrics

We're all living here

At the edge of the world

We hear the night owls

And the deepening sea

Everything still matters

Under the midnight moon

It reflects, it splinters

Hanging by a thread

Blink and you're gone

From the edge of the world

Timpani follows us

Wrapped up in silence

Note to self, note to you

Please hold your breath

For naked beauty

At the edge of the world

Girls with ginger curls

Wear black and white pearls

The soft sunlight matters

At the edge of the world

Turquoise and silver

Glitters in your cupped hands

At the edge of the world

The rapt wind and bees

Bumble hum and rustle

In the sycamore trees

Feel my heart and hands

Along your cheek and chin

Like a wandering sin

At the edge of the world

And you must breathe in

My warm lips and tongue

At the edge of the world

Every single time that

l look right at you

I look right at you

The simple quiet

At the edge of the world

The immortality

Of your crackling yes

Pushes me right into

A distant corner

Of that invisible

Hopeful dancing light

At the edge of the world
