Lyrics
Hanging On the Edge
Music by Tom Terrill and Bobby Quick
Lyrics by Tom Terrill and Bobby Quick
Hanging on the edge,
Hanging on the edge tonight
Like the wind, you?re drifting in
From sailing far away,
You can?t tell me if you?ve come to stay,
You believe you won?t succeed
In faking out the powers that be,
You would keep it all inside,
And leave this world behind
I can taste the emptiness,
The flavor of your eyes,
You pretend it?s all a part of life,
I can take you far away,
Break the mold of hate and pain,
I can help you fly again,
But you keep hanging on
Hanging on the edge,
Hanging on the edge tonight
I can hear the dreamer screaming,
Shaking in the night,
I can smell the rain inside your mind
Now you?re gone, I carry on,
I crash through every day
Why you left me here
I cannot say
When you kept it all inside,
It took your soul, it took your life,
You let go and flew away,
But left me hanging on
Left me hanging on,
Hanging on the edge
Hanging on the edge tonight
