The Edge of Heartbreak Songtext
von Marc Almond

Sometimes when I′m on my own
My bed too cold for one alone
I try to lose myself in dreams
But you're not here so I can′t sleep
I suffer when the night is long
My heart cries out for yours is gone
You take me to the edge of heartbreak

Then I turn and there you are
Sometimes near and yet so far
You touch my hair, you pull me close
We're cheek to cheek and nose to nose
Your velvet eyes so dark and deep
You're like an angel when you sleep
You take me to the edge of heartbreak

Maybe tears are in my eyes
But I′m not feeling sad
Emotions that you make me feel
A love so beautiful and real


You′ve had the hurt, you've had the pain
I pray you don′t feel those again
It's somewhere deep within your mind
Another place, another time
And now I have an ache for you
How long it takes, I′ll wait for you
You take me to the edge of heartbreak

And in those early hours I'm missing you
My lips are dead when I′m not kissing you
And in the morning light I'm wanting you
And by the sunrise I'll belong to you
I hope I will

Soon your eyes will open then
This aching heart will beat again
You are the warmth you are the light
With you I′ll never fear the night
Love is fragile I find
Sleep on sweetly, love of mine
You take me to the edge of heartbreak
