Close to the edge lyrics

I. The Solid Time Of Change

A seasoned witch could call you

from the depths of your disgrace

And rearrange your liver

to the solid mental grace

And achieve it all with music

that came quickly from afar

Then taste the fruit of man recording

losing all against the hour

And assessing points to nowhere,

leading every single one

A dewdrop can exalt us

like the music of the sun

And take away the plain

in which we move

And choose the course

you're running

Down at the end,

round by the corner

Not right away,

not right away

Close to the edge,

down by a river

Not right away,

not right away

Crossed the line

around the changes of the summer

Reaching out to call the color of the sky

Passed around a moment

clothed in mornings faster

than we see

Getting over all the time

I had to worry

Leaving all the changes

far from far behind

We relieve the tension only

to find out the master's name

Down at the end,

round by the corner

Close to the edge,

just by a river

Seasons will pass you by

I get up,

I get down

Now that it's all over

and done

Now that you find,

now that you're whole

II. Total Mass Retain

My eyes convinced,

eclipsed with the younger moon

attained with love

It changed

as almost strained amidst clear manna

from above

I crucified my hate

and held the word within my hand

There's you, the time, the logic,

or the reasons we don't understand

Sad courage claimed the victims

standing still for all to see

As armoured movers took approach

to overlook the sea

There sense the cord,

the license,

or the reasons we understood will be

Down at the end,

close by a river

Close to the edge,

round by the corner

Close to the end,

down by the corner

Down at the edge,

round by the river

Sudden cause shouldn't take away

the startled memory

All in all,

the journey takes you all the way

As apart from any reality

that you've ever seen

and known

Guessing problems only

to deceive the mention

Passing paths that climb halfway

into the void

As we cross from side to side,

we hear the total mass retain

Down at the edge,

round by the corner

Close to the end,

down by a river

Seasons will pass you by

I get up,

I get down

III. I Get Up, I Get Down

In her white lace,

you could clearly see the Lady

sadly looking

Saying that she'd take the blame

For the crucifixion of her own domain

I get up,

I get down

I get up,

I get down

Two million people barely satisfy

Two hundred women watch one woman cry,

Too late

The eyes of honesty can achieve

(She would gladly say

in amazement of her story)

How many millions do we deceive each day?

(Asking only interest could be layed

upon the children of her domain)

I get up,

I get down

I get up,

I get down

In charge of who is there

in charge of me

(She could clearly see

the lady sadly looking)

Do I look on blindly

and say I see the way?

(Saying that she'd take the blame

For the crucifixion of her own domain)

The truth is written all along the page

(She would gladly say

in amazement of her story)

How old will I be

before I come of age for you?

(Asking only interest could be laid

upon the children of her domain)

I get up, I get down

I get up, I get down

I get up, I get down

I get up, I get down

I get up, I get down

IV. Seasons Of Man

The time between the notes

relates the color to the scenes

A constant vogue of triumphs dislocate man,

so it seems

And space between the focus shape

ascend knowledge of love

As song and chance develop time,

lost social temperance rules above

Ah, ah

Then according to the man

who showed his outstretched arm to space

He turned around and pointed,

revealing all the human race

I shook my head and smiled a whisper,

knowing all about the place

On the hill we viewed the silence of the valley

Called to witness cycles only of the past

And we reach all this

with movements in between the said remark

Close to the edge,

down by the river

Down at the end,

round by the corner

Seasons will pass you by

Now that it's all over

and done

Called to the seed,

right to the sun

Now that you find,

now that you're whole

Seasons will pass you by

I get up, I get down

I get up, I get down

I get up, I get down
