How close we are to the edge of eternity

 

Dancing at the darkened door Forgetting what Has gone before

When all is said, we muddle through Forget the why of what we do.

At the edge of eternity. At the edge of eternity.

 

I look on every face and nameÝ And see that we are all the same

No little lives, no little dreams And nothingís truly as it seems

At the edge of eternity At the edge of eternity.

 

Avoid the eyes Avoid the truth And choose your idols In your youth

ThatÝ way is sure To devastate When you find you finally Meet your fate

On the edge of eternity At the edge of eternity

 

Each indiscretion Each mistake We know the sin we give and take

Doing allÝ For our own sake Hoping for no more than an even break

OnÝ the edge of eternity At the edge of eternity.

 

So get your eyesÝ On things above Where visionís cleared By the fire of love

For darkness flees The searing light Here on our knees We set our sight

Oíer the edge of eternity Oíer the edge of eternity.

 

How close we areÝ To the edge of eternity

How close we are To the edge of eternity.
