Man on the Brink
Written by Bob Perry and Robert Darlington [Translator]
lyrics
Man on the brink
Leave me alone
I’m not what you think
I never leave home
How bad will it get?
Ain’t no surprise
Right before your eyes
Man on the brink
Nowhere to go
No time to think
No seeds left to sow
A nudge and a wink
To those standing by
Sinker, hook, and line
Maybe I just need a little more respect
I’m no good at working on a broken heart
I believe that I was once in love with heights
Now it seems so strange to follow
Steps I’d rather own than borrow
Night is black and dreams are shallow
The earth is flat, the sky is hollow
Man on the brink
Wearing my shoes
Nothing to drink
Paid all my dues
How bad will it get?
Ain’t no surprise
Right before your eyes
Man on the brink

This song transported me to my own very first sighting of a Veery this summer. A rare visitor to Vancouver Canada, it only lingered a few days before it continued on migration. birder

I didn't know that day in December would be my last time either. I think about D. all the time -- the funniest, most inspired person I knew. And I just know he's jamming on The Royal Scam with Walt on guitar haha! matthew danger lippman
