Lyrics

Standing on the Edge of Time

Could have gone better, could have gone worse,
May be a blessing, even a curse,
But I'm standing on the edge of time,
Looking down at a friend of mine,
Watching life in reverse.

Well the wind gets up and starts to blowing,
Will this river never stop flowing
I'm standing on the edge of time,
Looking down at a friend of mine,
And there's no way of knowing,

Play me the Blues,
Play me the Blues,
Play me the Blues just one more time.

Instrumental break

Play me the Blues,
Play me the Blues,
Play me the Blues just one more time.

Well the wind gets up and starts to blowing,
Will this river never stop flowing
I'm standing on the edge of time,
Looking down at a friend of mine,
And there's no way of knowing,

Play me the Blues,
Play me the Blues,
Play me the Blues just one more time.

Instrumental break

Play me the Blues,
Play me the Blues,
Play me the Blues just one more time.
