Edge of the Moon Lyrics

Here on the edge of the moon
running from our future

As I look back your heart grabs my hand
asking me to remember a vow you made
that would always take
me to the edge of the moon
circling pictures of you

The time you sailed under the diamond eye
of a Dolphin who for a song had crossed Night
to bring back your Bride

Under a warm Tuscan Sun
no cliff was too steep for us

Here at the edge of the moon
I surf a curve thrown by you

Then did you teach me to fly past your marmalade sky
so that after the waning and waxing of love
you could find
me at the edge
here at the edge
me at the edge of
the edge of the moon

Now I'm going back past that marmalade sky
'cause you've got my waxing and waning
as primitive goes you can stir the embers
and the Lucy inside of my soul

Now I'm going back past that marmalade sky
'cause you've got my waxing and waning
as primitive goes you can stir the embers
and the Lucy inside of my soul

Now I'm going back past that marmalade sky
'cause you've got my waxing and waning
as primitive goes you can stir the embers
and the Lucy inside
the Lucy inside
the Lucy inside of my soul
Stir the Lucy inside of my soul

Here at the edge
me at the edge
me at the edge of
the edge of the moon
