"On The Edge Of The World" lyrics

"On The Edge Of The World"

Midnight skies burn on, many stories untold
On icy nights winds blow and touch everyone
You still think you are so far away
But you'll pay dearest price of us all

'Cause you stand on the edge of the world
And you're dreaming all your precious time away
You know you're dreaming all your precious time away

Morning comes so soon, so bright in your eyes
And talking to yourself, you don't even try
There alone where no one bothers you
You can stay a thousand miles from us all

But you stand on the edge of the world
And you're dreaming all your precious time away
You know you're dreaming all your precious time away

And in this world you sleep ignoring
Another night has passed
This endless sleep might be rewarding
Don't let it be your last

Midnight skies burn on, many stories untold
On icy nights winds blow and touch everyone
You still think you are so far away
But you'll pay dearest price of us all

'Cause you stand on the edge of the world
And you're dreaming all your precious time away
Dreaming all your precious time away
You know you're dreaming all your precious time away
You know you're dreaming all your precious time away
Dreaming all your precious time away
