Living on the Edge of the World

I’m living on the edge of the world
Beyond my deck the silence is unfurled
Neither dark nor light, endless, whirling white
I’m living on the edge of the world

I’m living where the world comes to an end
Where even silence whispers to the wind
The gull’s muffled cry lost beneath the sky
I’m living where the world comes to an end

I’m living where tomorrow drifts away
In pursuit of what was lost today
What was there last night, gone before first light
I’m living where tomorrow drifts away

I’m living on the edge of the world
Off of my back deck it all is swirled
Mist wrapped up the day, carried it away
I’m living on the edge of the world
