Found you sitting there at the edge of the world <br />Looking out into that dark and lonely space <br />Of broken hearts and shattered dreams <br />Tried to look into your eyes <br />'Cos I caught a flash of starlight there <br />But you looked away and would not meet my gaze. <br /> <br />So I sat a while and shared the loneliness with you <br />Knew you felt the pain of empty places <br />And the agony of falling from a height into a black and senseless pit. <br />And the only sound I heard in that grim and soul-less spot <br />Was the splash of tears falling <br />Wet and hot on the stony ground. <br /> <br />Then I put my arm around you, <br />Told you how it broke my heart <br />To see you weeping there, told you to leave your tears with me <br />And kissed them from your face, <br />Then sent you home, your loving ones to see <br />And laid me down to die alone. <br /> <br />Loving you and missing you but glad you weren't there with me anymore <br />As I laid me down to die alone, alone, <br />As I laid me down to die alone. <br />And all the stars went out, one by solitary one, <br />Till all that was left for me were two bright and distant suns - <br />The memory of what I glimpsed when I looked into your eyes <br /> <br />And they smiled upon my face <br />And made my tear drops sparkle <br />As I laid me down to die alone, alone, <br />As I laid me down to die alone. <br />As I laid me down to die alone, alone, <br />As I laid me down to die.<br /><br />Christopher McInnes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/song-lyric-3-sitting-at-the-edge-of-the-world/
