Carrie Elkin - Edge Of The World lyrics

rate me

We act like ourselves, but is it self that we want?

Or is it just some small piece of that woman over there?

Cause she’s dipped in gold and covered in pearls

OH NO, I wanna go to the edge of the world

And you can come along and dance with me some,

And we’ll twist and we’ll twirl ‘till our hearts come undone

And I’ll carve you a space; you can rest with me there

And you’ll tell me you love me every day of the year. Oh….

We’ll build us a house use the mud from our insides

Get rid of all the things that make us unclear

And that house will be free cause we’re so goddamn clouded

And then we’ll be free, free of all the free of all the

Things we’re afraid of and the things left unsaid

And the things ain’t got no business that dance in our heads

There’s so much room for silence when there’s no one else around

There’s so much room for you and me to be found. Oh….

We’ll plant ourselves a garden and work ‘till we’re tired

And then take our weary bodies, and lay down by the fire

We’ll wake when it’s dark feel the silence of night

We’ll squeeze out the palm leaves use the oil for lamplight

We’ll walk with the stars and sing with the wind

To the baby on your shoulders and god in our hands

And I’ll say a little prayer, kiss you on the cheek

I’ll say it’s time for bed oh, it’s time for sleep

And I’ll dream about the woman who’s dipped in gold

And I’ll wake to remember the time we chose the edge of the world.
