The Streets - On the Edge of a Cliff текст песни

Текст
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
