On the edges of the night
I heard they found a sign of life
I heard they found a sign of life.
...But ah, was I born too soon?
Cause I always wait,
Mother said to me “you get down and you pray”
Generations came
Generations blame
“The past in flames
So what’s the use anyway?”
For a sign of rain,
Many years you’ll wait
But I believe it’s wrong
To need prayers to love
Come up off the knee’s, let’s get up, get up, be gone
To the rising road,
Many miles to go,
And you turn and say, “soon, my friend, soon we’ll know...
many hours to go,
many hours to go”
(In my own light...)
I used to float
High above the coast
In the Maritimes,
Saw the full moon rise
Where I left my bones
Where I left the ghost
When I close my eyes,
He peacefully lies
On the edges of the night, I’ve been looking all of my life
On the edges of the night, I heard they found a sign of life
On the edges of the night, I’ve been looking all of my life
On the edges of the night, I heard they found a sign of life
And it’s a boom, flicker, boom, flicker
Coming closer and quicker
Boom, flicker, boom, flicker
Coming closer and quicker
Boom chain, boom chain, cracking in the rain
Boom chain, boom chain, cracking in the rain
Ooooo, I need you, I need you, I’ve been trying to meet you
Ooooo, I need you, I need you, I’ve been trying to meet you
And it split the night
Like the speed of light
Thunder drums at dawn
Now here comes the sun
In between the night
And the edge of light
Comes a sign of life
Comes a sign of life
On the edges of the night, I heard they found a sign of life x 2
On the edges of the night, I’ve been looking all of my life x 2
