Over the Rhine - Meet Me At The Edge Of The World lyrics

One lone tupelo stood against the ironweed The goldenrod that tamed our need For something other than fear and greed Meet me at the edge of the world Expectations great and small Unfettered us as I recall From dreams we scaled before the fall Into the lap of the world Cold hard tied like rebar frames Pale skeleton of the man remains We’re floating checks and naming names Paper airplanes to the edge of the world But I remember that face All the miles we misplaced Leave behind all but one trace And walk me to the edge of the world That lone tupelo soon will be on fire For all I know with God’s desire As Autumn in Ohio spirals Off of the edge of the world Here we stand on cold concrete ground ‘Cause someone said they liked the sound I’m thankful that they’ve hung around But I’m craving the edge of the world Is it time to disappear? Oh babe, can we just get out of here? You and me love and no one near Walk me to the edge of the world Meet me at the edge of the world I’m waiting at the edge of the world
