Lyrics
LAND'S END
Words and music Deborah Crooks
You were always sitting at the edge
Just dying to jump in
And I didn't know where I was going, even then
A big wide ocean and a mile of sand
It all came down to that cliff, in the end
He was just going to buy some eggs, or so he said
But he drove as far as he could and stared out over that edge
A big wide ocean and a mile of stone
In that moment, he felt too alone
And some people gave up and some people gave in
Some people learned to love, some people never did win
Many years later I'm back at that same land's end
So many dead and buried, I don't know where to begin
A big wide ocean and a mile of sky
I went over that edge but I learned to fly
A big wide ocean and a mile of sand
It's down to another jump, looks like it's time to land
And some people gave up and some people gave in
Some people learned to love, some people never did win
Some people gave up, some people gave in
I'm learning to love
