《On The Edge Of A Cliff》歌词

[00:00:02] On The Edge Of A Cliff - The Streets

[00:00:19] I'm really ok thanks there's nothing to witness

[00:00:22] I said as I looked back from the edge of the cliff

[00:00:26] The old man looking down leant over the ridge

[00:00:29] Stood with a grin as if a blessing had hit him

[00:00:32] I slumped on the jut of the cliff

[00:00:35] Just leave me alone this is none of your business

[00:00:38] I will said the old man but just one thing

[00:00:41] And what he said was so lovely it stunned me

[00:00:44] He said

[00:00:45] I lay right there once at the edge of the rock

[00:00:48] I was ready to jump I was ever so lost

[00:00:52] But this gentleman stopped

[00:00:53] And said something I never forgot

[00:00:57] For billions of years since the outset of time

[00:01:01] Every single one of your ancestors survived

[00:01:04] Every single person on your mum and dad's sides

[00:01:07] Successfully looked after and passed onto you life

[00:01:10] What are the chances of that like

[00:01:13] It comes to me once in a while

[00:01:17] And everywhere

[00:01:17] I tell folk it gets the best of smile

[00:01:26] And then the old man

[00:01:27] Walked away and out of sight

[00:01:29] Till the sound of him hiking

[00:01:31] Turned to the sound of silence

[00:01:34] I just froze at the profound surprise

[00:01:35] And from down at my pride

[00:01:37] I found a smile to my eyes

[00:01:40] And for many days again

[00:01:41] I've been passing the same cliff

[00:01:42] And on many occasions

[00:01:43] I'd chance on the same thing

[00:01:46] Laying in the moss in the same way I was

[00:01:49] Would be another man looking like

[00:01:50] He needed a change of luck

[00:01:52] So I'd say I lay right there

[00:01:53] Once at the edge of the rock

[00:01:55] I was ready to jump I was ever so lost

[00:01:59] But this gentleman stopped

[00:02:00] And said something

[00:02:01] I never forgot

[00:02:05] For billions of years since the outset of time

[00:02:08] Every single one of your ancestors survived

[00:02:11] Every single person on your mum and dad's sides

[00:02:14] Successfully looked after and passed onto you life

[00:02:18] What are the chances of that like

[00:02:21] It comes to me once in a while

[00:02:24] And everywhere

[00:02:24] I tell folk it gets the best of smile

[00:02:30] For billions of years since the outset of time

[00:02:34] Every single one of your ancestors survived

[00:02:37] Every single person on your mum and dad's sides

[00:02:40] Successfully looked after and passed onto you life

[00:02:43] What are the chances of that like

[00:02:46] It comes to me once in a while

[00:02:50] And everywhere

[00:02:50] I tell folk it gets the best of smile
