Standing At The Sky's Edge

Joseph was a good man though he killed his wife

And [someone's?] little children, he took their lives

This was the act of a desperate man

With all the love in his eyes and 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 sky's razors edge

And watched his life slowly sinking away, away, away

Mary was a troubled girl, she stole to eat

She had to sell her body to put the shoes on her feet

Stole a car and tried to get away

Now all that she hears is the rain on the roof in 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 sky's razors edge

And watched her life slowly sinking away, away, away

They were standing at the sky's edge

And out there, who knows what they're thinking?

They were sliding down the sky's razors edge

And watched their lives, slowly sinking away, away, away

Jacob was misguided, he carried a blade

So much fear in the city, it carried him away

Young men are fighting and losing their lives

At night as the screech owls 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 sky's razors 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 river's edge

And watched their lives, slowly sinking away, away, away
