Jake Scott
Edge of Eden
[Verse 1]
There's a field of gold
There's a silver river
There's a place I know
I left it all behind
Chasing every high
Chasing sirens singing
Fell for every lie
They left me here to die

[Pre-Chorus]
And tears taste bitter
Fool's gold glitters
Now I curse my eye

[Chorus]
And finally, I can say this to you
I have been a blind fool
Wasting all you gave 'till all that's left
Is sorrow breaking both my shoulders
I'd give anything to start over
'Till then, I'll be here standing at the edge of Eden

[Verse 2]
Now my hands are cold
And my stomach's empty
I've betrayed my home for one forbidden bite
[Pre-Chorus]
And tears taste bitter
Fool's gold glitters
Now I curse my pride

[Chorus]
And finally, I can say this to you
I have been a blind fool
Wasting all you gave 'till all that's left
Is sorrow breaking both my shoulders
I'd give anything to start over
'Till then, I'll be here standing at the edge of Eden

[Bridge]
You gave me light, I gave you shame
I took all you love and I threw it away
Don't call me your son, I don't deserve to
Be counted as one who would carry your name

[Chorus]
Finally, I can say this to you
I have been a blind fool
Wasting all you gave 'till all that's left
Is sorrow breaking both my shoulders
I'd give anything to start over
Till then, I'll be here standing at the edge of Eden
Standing at the edge of Eden
Standing at the edge of Eden
