Close to the Edge Songtext
von Johnny Logan

There′s people flying rockets to the moon
They leave behind the ruins of a world gone wrong
And there's people deprived of human rights
Just ′cause they're not white
Oh will we ever learn

We see the pictures every day
Just turn our heads and look away
If you weren't here with me I′d go crazy

Sometimes I get close to the edge
Sometimes I get close to the thin line
Sometimes I get close to the edge
But you always pull me back


We worry ′bout such trivial things
But live like kings and queens in comparison
When there's children who never learned to smile
With no hope in their little lives
Oh will we ever learn

The signs are all so clear to see
But it′s not real it's just TV
If you weren′t here with me I'd go crazy

Sometimes I get close to the edge
Sometimes I get close to the thin line
Sometimes I get close to the edge
But you always pull me back

I get close to the edge darlin′
So close to the edge darlin'
I get close to the edge darlin'
But you always pull me back
