• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)

You were always sitting at the edge
just dying to jump in
and I didn't know where I was going
even then
a big wide ocean
and a mile of sand
it all came down to that cliff
in the end

he was just going to buy some eggs
or so he said
but he drove as far as he could
and he stared out over that ledge
a big wide ocean
and a mile of stone
in that moment
he felt too alone

and some people gave up
and some people gave in
some people learned to love
some people never did win

many years later
I'm back at that same Land's End
so many dead and buried
I don't know where to begin

a big wide ocean
and a mile of sky
I went over that edge too
but I learned to fly

a big wide ocean
and a mile of sand
it's down to another jump
guess it's time to land

and some people gave up
and some people gave in
some people learned to love
some people never did win

and some people gave up
and some people gave in

I'm learning to love
