Edges of the Night
[Intro]
On the edges of the night
I heard they found a sign of life
I heard they found a sign of life
[Verse 1]
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?”
[Pre-Chorus 1]
For a sign of rain
Many years you’ll wait
[Chorus]
But ah, but I believe it’s wrong
To need prayers to love
Come up off the knees
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
[Post-Chorus 1]
(In my own light)
(In my own light)
(In my own light)
(In my own light)
(In my own light)
(In my own light)
(In my own light)
(In my own light)
[Verse 2]
Well, 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
[Post-Chorus 1]
(In my own light)
(In my own light)
(In my own light)
(In my own light)
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus 2]
And it’s a boom, flicker, boom, flicker
Coming closer and quicker
Boom, flicker, boom, flicker
Coming closer and quicker
[Post-Chorus 2]
Boom chain, boom chain
Cracking in the rain
Boom chain, boom chain
Cracking in the rain
[Bridge 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Post-Chorus 1]
(In my own light)
(In my own light)
(In my own light)
(In my own light)
[Outro]
On the edges of the night
I heard they found a sign of 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’ve been looking all of my life)
