1. EDGE OF YESTERDAY
Memories echo like a whisper
make you cry in your sleep
you always did what they told you
you once sowed, now you reap
Ev'rybody's haunted
by the shadow voices that remain
on the Edge of Yesterday
Kind of feeling like an alien
still on time to play your scene
doing the best you can to fit in
like a gear in the big machine
Ev'rybody's haunted
by the shadow voices that remain
on the Edge of Yesterday
Till the sun intimidates the darkness
and daylight wipes away the shame
till sorrow melts away like snowflakes
and there's no one left to blame
Ev'rybody's haunted
by the shadow voices that remain
on the Edge of Yesterday
Everybody's wounded
running blind, tryin' to find their way
on the edge of yesterday
Ev'rybody's haunted
by the shadow voices that remain
on the Edge of Yesterday
Everybody's wounded
running blind, tryin' to find their way
yearning for tomorrow
a new beginning
still on the Edge of Yesterday
Memories echo like a whisper
on the Edge of Yesterday
