Ominous, poignant and mysterious; 'To The Edge' is a potent lament of fate gone wrong. Two lovers by the riverside grappling with truth. Morricone-esque horns tug at the heartstrings; a soulful, minor-key slow-burn that skirts the fringes of jazz and 60s rock ‘n’ roll.

lyrics

To the edge
Of the river with you
My resolve got wild
Your mind got skewed
Down by the edge
Of the river with you
That’s where I whispered
What I was going to do

I was confused
By the change
By your conviction
The silence in flames
But then your gaze
It turned my way
Then the words
I couldn’t let you say

Listen up honey
Listen up real
We needed truth
But now there ain’t time to heal
We had each other
We had our song
Never mind that
The timing was wrong

To the edge
Of the waterside
I’ll never forget
How I lied
Then how I ran
For, to save my life
For some true love lost
Has a will to survive

Listen up honey
Listen up real
We needed truth
But now there ain’t time to heal
We had each other
We had our song
Never mind that
The timing was wrong
