The High Rise

You said: "Meet me somewhere between England and Berlin

Leave the high rise and head to red brick, be a man, let life begin"

You took us to the top floor so we could see better

And I got tongue-tied when I thought of something clever

And then..

Under a northern sky

You swore you were happy here

Stood on the edge of forever

Stood on the edge of forever

Getting older by your side

Well that's the plan, my dear

Stood on the edge of forever

Stood on the edge of forever

Up here, I feel the distance between us and the lives below

Trace the cranes on the horizon and see the airport lights aglow

And I can hear a noise in my head from the pressure

Wathing the dusk from the roof together

And then..

Under a northern sky

You swore you were happy here

Stood on the edge of forever

Stood on the edge of forever

Getting older by your side

Well that's the plan, my dear

Stood on the edge of forever

Stood on the edge of forever

And walking home I remember..

Under a northern sky

You swore you were happy here

Stood on the edge of forever

Stood on the edge of forever

Growing older by your side

Well that's the plan, my dear

We're on the edge of forever

We're on the edge of forever
