Lyrics
On Earth
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
And she's walking on the edge of a knife
And she knows it's the death of her
Sarah you live & you learn you're invisible
And she's walking on the edge of a crowd
Late at night you can never tell
Town from town
Sounds of england swallow you down
Makes you want to laugh
Could a heaven on earth be ours here & now?
And she says, "What's in my palm?"
Read between the lines
Give me something to savour
Can you do that? cos I'll believe anything
And I say
When you're hoping for some more from your life
Shouldn't wonder you've had enough
And in my town
Sounds of england swallow you down
And a heaven on earth is all ours but not now
I tell you when a heaven on earth is all ours
Come on down
