Standing At the Sky's Edge (feat. Maimuna Memon, Bobbie Little & Samuel Jordan) [Live]

Joseph was a good man, though he killed his wife
His hungry little children, he took their lives
This was the act of a desperate man
With only love in his eyes, no evil hand

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

So, this is where you find us
Clinging on by our fingertips
Almost out of gas on a long stretch of highway, just trying to eek out another mile
But it's falling apart
This hunk of junk
It's not the thing you were promised
Jerusalem faded in your rear-view mirror, and knowing you were sold a lie
But the kids in the back are still sleeping
So there's nothing you can do but drive

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 are fighting, and loosing their lives
At night as the screech howls and 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 sliding down the mirror's edge
And watched their lives slowly sinking
Away, away
Away, away
Away
Away
