The girl still racing out at the trestles |
|
But that blood it never burned in her veins |
|
Now I hear she's got a house up in Fairview |
|
And a style she's trying to maintainWell if she wants to see me |
|
You can tell her that I'm easily found |
|
Tell her there's a spot out 'neath Abram's Bridge |
|
And tell her there's a darkness on the edge of town |
|
There's a darkness on the edge of townEverybody's got a secret sonny |
|
Yeah, something that they just can't face |
|
Some folks spend their whole lives trying to keep it |
|
They carry it with them every step that they takeTill one day they just cut it loose |
|
Cut it loose or let it drag 'em down |
|
Where no one asks any questions |
|
Looks too long in your face |
|
In the darkness on the edge of town |
|
In the darkness on the edge of townNow some folks are born into a good life |
|
Other folks, they just get it anyway anyhow |
|
Me, well I lost my faith when I lost my wife |
|
But those things don't seem to matter much to me now'Cause tonight I'll be on that hill 'cause I can't stop |
|
I'll be on that hill with everything I got |
|
Lives on the line where dreams are found and lost |
|
I'll be there on time and I'll pay the cost |
|
For wanting things that can only be found |
|
In the darkness on the edge of town |
|
In the darkness on the edge of town |
