Standing On The Edge Lyrics - Tomb Of Memories: The Cbs Years (1982-1994) - Paul Young

He has had the secret sold to him 

The door was open and you're shaking in anticipation 

Let your down just when you let him in 

Now you only have to dance away the night again 

Lately, lonely 

He was old but never felt so young 

Like a lion to the slaughtered lamb 

He watched you crumble 

Walked away before the dance begun 

Still he says that he has loved you 

Like he loved no other 

The best kept secret hidden years 

Is still wrapped up with pride and fear 

Standing on the edge of love, moving round in circles 

Turning 

Standing on the edge of love, moving round 

Back to safety, back to well worn womb 

Back to someone who is nothing more than passing time 

Back to dreaming all that love lost grooms 

Does it make you want to scream in anger, cry with rage 

The best kept secret hidden years 

Is still wrapped up with pride and fear 

Standing on the edge of love, moving round in circles 

Turning 

Standing on the edge of love, moving round
