Edge of the night (or) Can't wait Lyrics
In an empty room
In the dead of night
The shadows fall
By the moonlight
So where’s it coming from
The ___ ___whispered
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
You’re dropping out
But nobody listened
Nothing’s free everywhere
You count your blessings
Oh oh
By the edge of the night
I said I know
Somebody’s waiting
Oh oh
On the edge of the night
I’ll be waiting
Somebody’s waiting for me
You hear a knock
Outside your door
(piggy back to see)
When you’re back for more
Your (big) self
With your (hips) to the window
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
And all the fears
That won’t let you go
I’ll (hold) protection
Cause I fall inside
Oh oh
By the edge of the night
I said I know
Somebody’s waiting
Oh oh
On the edge of the night
I’ll be waiting
Somebody’s waiting for me
Let everything you fear
You come alive
Something on the other day
It’s a fighting girl
They ___________
You hit the ground
Oh oh
On the edge of the night
I said I know
Somebody’s waiting
Oh oh
On the edge of the night
I’ll be waiting
Oh oh
On the edge of the night
I said I know
Somebody’s waiting
Oh oh
On the edge of the night
I’ll be waiting
Somebody’s waiting for me
*note: This song comes from the 1988 demo under the name 'Can't Wait' and the Basement Tapes (1989) under the name 'On the Edge of the Night'
It is a great song, but sound quality is bad, so i couldn't figure out ALL the lyrics. Brackets means the lyric MAY be wrong, lines mean missing words
In the dead of night
The shadows fall
By the moonlight
So where’s it coming from
The ___ ___whispered
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
But nobody listened
Nothing’s free everywhere
You count your blessings
By the edge of the night
I said I know
Somebody’s waiting
Oh oh
On the edge of the night
I’ll be waiting
Somebody’s waiting for me
Outside your door
(piggy back to see)
When you’re back for more
Your (big) self
With your (hips) to the window
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
That won’t let you go
I’ll (hold) protection
Cause I fall inside
By the edge of the night
I said I know
Somebody’s waiting
Oh oh
On the edge of the night
I’ll be waiting
Somebody’s waiting for me
You come alive
Something on the other day
It’s a fighting girl
They ___________
You hit the ground
On the edge of the night
I said I know
Somebody’s waiting
Oh oh
On the edge of the night
I’ll be waiting
On the edge of the night
I said I know
Somebody’s waiting
Oh oh
On the edge of the night
I’ll be waiting
Somebody’s waiting for me

Hi all, been a big fan of this band and sebastian bach. This song to me is by far the best demo song ive heard. Listening to it closely and knowing bachs voice very well throughout the years, i have a correction to contribute to the site. The part with they____ in it goes like this:
Let everything you fear Just come alive Something on the edge of night It's so violent girl... It'll hit before you hit the ground
(hips) is ear
(hips) is ear
Oh oh On the edge of the night I said I know Somebody's waiting Oh oh On the edge of the night I'll be praying Somebody's waiting for me
Oh oh On the edge of the night I said I know Somebody's waiting Oh oh On the edge of the night I'll be praying Somebody's waiting for me
An empty room In the dead of night The shadows fall By the moonlight The voices calling from the dark silent whisper Do you love me? Do you love me?
You drop the knife But nobody's listenin Nothing's free everywhere You count your blessings
Oh oh On the edge of the night I said I know Somebody's waiting Oh oh On the edge of the night I'll be Praying Somebody's waiting for me
You hear a knock Outside your door (Take your back street) When you're back for more Your big self With your ear to the window Do you love me? Do you love me?
And all the fears That won't let you go Our own protection Cause they're all inside
Oh oh On the edge of the night I said I know Somebody's waiting Oh oh On the edge of the night I'll be Praying Somebody's waiting for me
Let everything you fear Just come alive Something on the edge of night It's so violent girl... It'll hit before you hit the ground
Oh oh On the edge of the night I said I know Somebody's waiting Oh oh On the edge of the night I'll be Praying
Oh oh On the edge of the night I said I know Somebody's waiting Oh oh On the edge of the night I'll be Praying
Somebody's waiting for me
