Letra
Joseph was a good man though he killed his wife
His hungry little children, he took their lives
This was the end of a desperate man
With only love in his eyes, no evil hands.
He was standing at the sky’s edge
And out there who knows what he’s thinking,
He was sliding down the razor’s edge
And watched his life slowly sinking,
Away, away.
Mary was a troubled girl, she stole to eat
She had to sell her body to put shoes on her feet
Stole a car and tried to get away
Now all she hears is the rain on the roof
At sky’s edge jail.
She was standing at the sky’s edge
And out there who knows what she’s thinking
She was sliding down the razor’s edge
And watched her life slowly sinking.
Away, away.
They were standing at the sky’s edge,
And out there who knows what they’re thinking.
They were sliding down the razor’s edge
And watched their lives slowly sinking,
Away, away, away, away, away.
Jacob was misguided, he carried a blade,
So much fear in the city it carried him away.
Young men were fighting and loosing their lives
At night as the screech howls in the trees watch
Young men die.
They were standing at the sky’s edge,
And out there who knows what they’re thinking.
They were sliding down the razor’s edge,
And watched their lives slowly sinking,
They were standing at the sky’s edge,
And out there there’s dangerous thinking,
They were standing at the mirror’s edge,
And watched their lives slowly sinking,
Away, away, away, away, away.
Tradução da letra
O Joseph era um bom homem, apesar de ter matado a mulher.
Os seus filhos esfomeados, ele tirou-lhes a vida.
Este foi o fim de um homem desesperado.
Com apenas amor nos olhos, sem mãos más.
Ele estava à beira do céu
E lá fora sabe-se lá o que ele está a pensar,
Ele estava a deslizar pela borda da lâmina
E viu a sua vida a afundar-se lentamente,
Para longe, para longe.
A Mary era uma rapariga perturbada, roubava para comer.
Ela teve de vender o corpo para calçar os pés.
Roubou um carro e tentou fugir
Agora tudo o que ela ouve é a chuva no telhado
Na prisão sky's edge.
Ela estava à beira do céu
E lá fora sabe-se lá o que ela está a pensar
Ela estava a deslizar pela borda da lâmina
E viu a vida dela a afundar-se lentamente.
Para longe, para longe.
Estavam à beira do céu,
E lá fora sabe-se lá o que estão a pensar.
Estavam a deslizar pela borda da lâmina
E viram as suas vidas a afundar-se lentamente,
Longe, Longe, Longe, Longe, longe.
O Jacob estava enganado, carregava uma lâmina.,
Tanto medo na cidade que o levou.
Os jovens estavam a lutar e a perder a vida.
À noite, enquanto os gritos uivam nas árvores
Jovens morrem.
Estavam à beira do céu,
E lá fora sabe-se lá o que estão a pensar.
Estavam a deslizar pela borda da lâmina,
E viram as suas vidas a afundar-se lentamente,
Estavam à beira do céu,
E lá fora há pensamento perigoso,
Estavam à beira do espelho.,
E viram as suas vidas a afundar-se lentamente,
Longe, Longe, Longe, Longe, longe.
