Carrie Newcomer The Razor's Edge
There's a shifting of the shadows down along the woods There's an echo of a gun down in the hollow The neighbor's dog is barking like a wild thing that's been caught Howling like there ain't no tomorrow I've walked out on this ridge And walked the razor's edge And something still is calling me back again Handed off like a secret, passed down like an heirloom You've taken on their sorrows for pity or for love Not because you want to, not because you have to Just because it's time for the grieving to be done You've walked out on this ridge And walked the razor's edge And something still is calling you back again We are walking in the darkness We are walking hand in hand We are walking out in the darkness again So close the door, slam the door put it softly in it's frame You can walk on through, walk on out No two doors are ever quite the same And I'm pretty strong, but I've never been that tough But when It comes to walking That's still good enough I've walked out on this ridge You've walked the razor's edge And something still is pulling us back again
