Edge Of The Earth

by Garnet Rogers

on Sparrow's Wing (1999)

If the moon of early morning
Runs a road beside the James
Something calls me into believing
Though I can't recall its name.

I wondered off
The beaten pathway
When first I wondered from my home.
Never any way but my way.
To every place I'd go alone.

I pass your window.
I cast now shadow.
I speak but I can't be heard.
My words fall silent
Over the edge of the earth.

And I am what I can't help be:
I'm a prisoner and a free man.
A blind man who can see the
light beyond Cumberland.

And far across the rocky ridge
The old moon gives the new moon birth.
I'll cross that heavenly bridge someday
At the edge of the earth.

I pass your window.
I cast now shadow.
I speak but I can't be heard.
My words fall silent
Over the edge of the earth.

I pass your window.
I cast now shadow.
I speak but I can't be heard.
My words fall silent
Over the edge of the earth.
My words fall silent
Over the edge of the earth.
