I can hear the waves crashing. I can hear the wind moan
I don't need to stand on the edge to know what's lying below
It's a long way down that face of stone
I can hear the waves crashing. I can hear the wind moan
The hair at the back of my neck came to attention
The second your eyes swept in my direction
The night is young, and the air is electric
Make the hair at the back of my neck come to attention
My heart has broken and healed, broken and healed
From lovers who've revealed themselves to be temporary
So I won't be coming any closer
I've learned that cliffs are made for falling over
Thank God I know better, or I would meet your gaze
Let you buy me a whiskey, drink up every word you say
In the morning light I'd ask you to say
Thank God I know better, or I would meet your gaze
My heart has broken and healed, broken and healed
From lovers who've revealed themselves to be temporary
So I won't be coming any closer
I've learned that cliffs are made for falling over
You look like the kind I could lose my mind trying to analyze
That gets me every time
The slightest breeze would come along and suddenly I'd be so far gone
Barely hanging on
So I won't be coming any closer
I've learned that cliffs are made for falling over
I can hear the waves crashing, I can hear the wind moan
I don't need to stand on the edge to know what's lying below
