Lyrics
?Over the Brim?
All © & è Rhíannon 2003
You weren?t very nice, you weren?t very true
You didn?t act at all like you ?
You went over the brim
And all because of him
And all because of him
Why did you stay so long?
Why didn?t you walk out the door?
Go down to the seashore?
Just go?out into the night
Leave it all behind ?
Just leave it all behind ...
Chorus
But I was caged in
Caged in ? caged in ? in my love for him
And I dived over the brim ?
And all because ? I was caged
Caged in ?
Bound to him ?
Over the brim ?
