The Razor's Edge Lyrics - Singles - Carrie Newcomer

There's a shifting of the shadows down along the woods 

There's an echo of a gun down in the hollow 

The neighbor's dog is barking like a wild thing that's been caught 

Howling like there ain't no tomorrow 

I've walked out on this ridge 

And walked the razor's edge 

And something still is calling me back again 

Handed off like a secret, passed down like an heirloom 

You've taken on their sorrows for pity or for love 

Not because you want to, not because you have to 

Just because it's time for the grieving to be done 

You've walked out on this ridge 

And walked the razor's edge 

And something still is calling you back again 

We are walking in the darkness 

We are walking hand in hand 

We are walking out in the darkness again 

So close the door, slam the door put it softly in it's frame 

You can walk on through, walk on out 

No two doors are ever quite the same 

And I'm pretty strong, but I've never been that tough 

But when It comes to walking 

That's still good enough 

I've walked out on this ridge 

You've walked the razor's edge 

And something still is pulling us back again
