The Edge of the World

On the edge of the night

On the edge of the world

Looking over the side

And he don't see no bottom

Ain't no end in sight

He's leaning on the edge of the night

How long have you been gone

How long you been gone

How long have you been gone

So long

Won't you come back home

Do you work for the city

Do you watch all of the lights at night

Under the bridges of the city, the city lights

They look all right at night

Do you sleep all right

You had you a woman

And you had some children too

You walked out on them for the streets

And they didn't know what to do

What are we gonna do

I haven't been home for a while (Haven't been home)

I haven't been home for a while (Haven't been home)

I haven't been home in so long

But I've got to be here

How long have you been gone

How long you been gone

How long have you been gone

So long

Won't you come back home

Come back home

Come back home

I haven't been home for a while (Haven't been home)

I haven't been home for a while (Haven't been home)

I haven't been home in so long

So, so long

Well, you had you a woman

And you left when the children cried

And you ain't going back home

To look into your baby's eyes

I hear her crying, crying

How long have you been gone

How long you been gone

How long have you been gone

So long, so long

How long have you been gone

How long you been gone

How long have you been gone

So long (x4)

Won't you come back home
