On The Edge Of A Cliff Lyrics

I am really okay, thanks, there's nothing to witness I said as I look back from the edge of a cliff The old man looking down, lend over the bridge Stood with a grin as if a blessing had hit him
I slumped on the jut of the cliff Just leave me alone, this is none of your business I will said the old man but just one thing And what he said was so lovely it stunned me
He said I lay right there once at the edge of the rock I was ready to jump, I was ever so lost But this gentlemen stopped and said something I never forgot
For billions of years since the outset of time Every single one of your ancestors survived Every single person on your mum and dad's side Successfully looked after and passed onto you life
What are the chances of that like? It comes to me once in a while And everywhere I tell folk it gets the best smile
And then the old man walked away and out of sight Till the sound of him hiking turned to the sound of silence I just froze in a profound surprise And from down on my pride I found a smile to my eyes
And for many days again I've been passing the same cliff And on many occasions I'd chance on the same thing Laying in the moss in the same way I was Would be another man looking like he needed a change of luck
So I'd say I lay right there once at the edge of the rock I was ready to jump, I was ever so lost But this gentleman stopped and said something I never forgot
For billions of years since the outset of time Every single one of your ancestors survived Every single person on your mum and dad's side Successfully looked after and passed onto you life
What are the chances of that like? It comes to me once in a while And everywhere I tell folk it gets the best smile
For billions of years since the outset of time Every single one of your ancestors survived Every single person on your mum and dad's side Successfully looked after and passed onto you life
What are the chances of that like? It comes to me once in a while And everywhere I tell folk it gets the best smile
