Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
An offering of reasons (To) put them all in play A covering of treasons That one by one we let slip away A solitary dancer So lost upon her stage I have seen you on the edge of dawn Felt you there before you were born Balanced your dreams upon the edge of thorns But I don't think about you anymore A study made from winter Of summers long ago And dreams that use to glitter Safely now hidden under snow And so we end this chapter And let the stage lights fade I have seen you on the edge of dawn Felt you there before you were born Balanced your dreams upon the edge of thorns But I don't think about you anymore
