Richard Hawley - Standing At The Skys Edge Lyrics

Joseph was a good man though he killed his wife
His hungry little children, he took their lives
This was the end of a desperate man
With only love in his eyes, 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 razor's edge
And watched his life slowly sinking
Away, away

Mary was a troubled girl, she stole to eat
She had to sell her body to put shoes on her feet
Stole a car and tried to get away
Now all she hears is the rain on the roof
At 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 razor's edge
And watched her life slowly sinking
Away, away

They were standing at the sky's edge
And out there who knows what they're thinking
They were sliding down the razor's edge
And watched their lives slowly sinking
Away, away, away, away, away

Jacob was misguided, he carried a blade
So much fear in the city it carried him away
Young men were fighting and loosing their lives
At night as the screech howls 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 razor's 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 mirror's edge
And watched their lives slowly sinking
Away, away, away, away, away
