Last night I heard a wood thrush calling In the evening like they sing I saw you standing by the water Out on the brink of everything Out on the brink of everything Yeah all the things that used to matter No they don't need so much today Toss the seeds and let them scatter The birds and wind take them away Til there is nothing in my way And this is has been too much and little The ache of it bewildering But for now we'll stand together Here on the brink of everything Here on the brink of everything I can't see past this horizon I can't say what's waiting there I never sang cause I knew something I sang because it was a prayer The finest one that I could bare And this is has been too much and little The ache of it bewildering But for now we'll stand together Here on the brink of everything Here on the brink of everything This body has been many things It's been rain and snow and earth and dust I've worked and worried searched and hurried But now its just forgiveness Now it's all forgiveness I'll walk with you as far as I can And all we love is all we'll take I'll send a postcard when I get there Just to say I got there safe Just to say I got there safe And I won't need no choir of angels Just that old song we used to sing But for now we'll stand in wonder Here on the Brink of Everything Here on the Brink of Everything
