The Streets - On The Edge Of A Cliff

I'm really OK thanks, there's nothing to witness

I said as I looked back from the edge of the cliff

The old man looking down leant over the ridge

Stood with a grin as if a blessing had hit him

I slumped on the jut of the cliff

Just leave me alone, this is none of your business

I will said the old man, but just one thing

And what he said was so lovely it stunned me

He said I lay right there once at the edge of the rock

I was ready to jump, I was ever so lost

But this gentleman stopped and said something I never forgot

For billions of years since the outset of time

Every single one of your ancestors survived

Every single person on your mum and dad's sides

successfully looked after and passed onto you life

What are the chances of that, like?

It comes to me once in a while

And everywhere I tell folk it gets the best of smile

And then the old man walked away and out of sight

Till the sound of him hiking turned to the sound of silence

I just froze at the profound surprise

and from down at my pride I found a smile to my eyes

And for many days again I've been passing the same cliff

and on many occasions I'd chance on the same thing

Laying in the moss, in the same way I was

would be another man looking like he needed a change of luck

So I'd say I lay right there once at the edge of the rock

I was ready to jump, I was ever so lost

But this gentleman stopped and said something I never forgot

For billions of years since the outset of time

Every single one of your ancestors survived

Every single person on your mum and dad's sides

successfully looked after and passed onto you life

What are the chances of that, like?

It comes to me once in a while

And everywhere I tell folk it gets the best of smile

For billions of years since the outset of time

Every single one of your ancestors survived

Every single person on your mum and dad's sides

successfully looked after and passed onto you life

What are the chances of that, like?

It comes to me once in a while

And everywhere I tell folk it gets the best of smile
