  • Standing on the edge of forever
    At the start of whatever
    Shouting love at the world
    Back then we were like cavemen
    But we map the moon and the stars
    Then we forgave them

    We will meet you where the lights are
    The defenders of the faith we are
    Where the thunder turns around
    They'll run so hard we'll tear the ground away

    You know no one dies
    In these love drowned eyes
    Through our love drowned eyes
    We'll watch you sleep tonight

    Although no one understood
    We were holding back the flood
    Learning how to dance the rain
    We were holding back the flood
    They said we'd never dance again

    Bleeding, but none of us leaving
    Watch your mouth son or you'll find yourself floating home
    Here we come now on a dark star
    Seeing demons, not what we are

    Tiny minds and eager hands
    Will try to strike but now will end today

    There's progress now where there once was none
    Where there once was none, then everything came along

    Although no one understood
    We were holding back the flood learning how to dance the rain
    There was more of them than us now they'll never dance again

    Although no one understood
    There was more of them than us learning how to dance the rain
    We were holding back the flood they said we'd never dance again

    We will meet you where the lights are
    The defenders of the faith we are
    Where the thunder turns around
    They'll run so hard we'll tear the ground away

    Although no one understood
    There was more of them than us learning how to dance the rain
    (Learning how to dance the rain)
    There was more of them than us now they'll never dance again

    Now we'll never dance again

    Oh ah
    Oh ah
    Oh ah
    Oh ah
    Oh ah
    Oh ah
    Oh ah Writer/s: Gary Barlow, Howard Paul Donald, Jason Thomas Orange, Mark Anthony Owen, Robert Peter Williams
