Standing At the Sky's Edge

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.
