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 Away
