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
On the brink of everything
Yeah, all the things that used to matter
No, they don't mean so much today
Toss the seeds and let them scatter
The birds and wind take them away
Til there is nothing in my way
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
No, 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 it's just forgiveness
Now it's all forgiveness
I'll walk with you 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
