The Edge Of The World

(álbum: Sonia Dada - 1992)

On the edge of the night
On the edge of the world
Looking over the side
And he don't see no bottom
Ain't no end in sight
He's leaning on the edge of the night

How long have you been gone
How long you been gone
How long have you been gone
So long
Won't you come back home

Do you work for the city
Do you watch all of the lights at night
Under the bridges of the city, the city lights
They look all right at night
Do you sleep all right

You had you a woman
And you had some children too
You walked out on them for the streets
And they didn't know what to do
What are we gonna do

I haven't been home for a while (Haven't been home)
I haven't been home for a while (Haven't been home)
I haven't been home in so long
But I've got to be here

How long have you been gone
How long you been gone
How long have you been gone
So long
Won't you come back home
Come back home
Come back home

I haven't been home for a while (Haven't been home)
I haven't been home for a while (Haven't been home)
I haven't been home in so long
So, so long

Well, you had you a woman
And you left when the children cried
And you ain't going back home
To look into your baby's eyes
I hear her crying, crying

How long have you been gone
How long you been gone
How long have you been gone
So long, so long

How long have you been gone
How long you been gone
How long have you been gone
So long...
Won't you come back home
