lyrics

Edge of a Smile



They say that I’m lonesome; the verdict is true.
The motive unknown is you.
They whisper a wreck should lay by the sea,
not drift with the wind on the street.

Say it’s just a secret; it ain’t a lie.
A question that’s cornered
in the edge of a smile.

All the king’s horses, and all the king’s men,
the tall lonesome pines and the moon.
And “I Fall to Pieces”, I sing it to them,
saving them all for who?

Say it’s just a secret; it ain’t a lie.
A question that’s cornered
in the edge of a smile.

You can’t measure lonesome,
to try is to lose.
It’s set like a table for two.
