View from the edge
An old man with a cane
Steps in kinda slowly
And winces with the pain
Or maybe with the memory
Of that dress you wear
In a fashion so familiar
Trying not to stare.
Coz you look like his first love
When he could run for miles
She wore a dress just like yours
And now it's back in style.
And he can see the beauty
That you cannot perceive.
Until you earn the eyes to glimpse it
Just before you leave.
...a tiny little planet
A backyard with a hedge
You are safe there in the middle
Ahh, but the view is from the edge.
Show the way
You say you see no hope, you say you see no reason
We should dream that the world would ever change
You're saying love is foolish to believe
'Cause there'll always be some crazy with an Army or a knife
To wake you from your day dream, put the fear back in your life.
We should dream that the world would ever change
You're saying love is foolish to believe
'Cause there'll always be some crazy with an Army or a knife
To wake you from your day dream, put the fear back in your life.
...we play against the fear
We play against the reasons not to tryWe're playing for the tears
Burning in the happy angel's eyes
Thought this portions of the lyrics to "view from the edge" and "show the way" were really beautiful.
