From the recording Jagged Edge (With Video)
Lyrics
I’ve watched the years disappear what happened to my youth
Winter days cold and gray I’m holdin’ on win or lose
Too late for compromise I won’t get out alive
Walkin’ on the jagged edge hangin’ by a thread waitin’ for you
Walkin’ on the jagged edge got no place to rest my head still payin’ these dues
Walkin’ on the jagged edge gone astray and left for dead but I won’t give up on you
On the jagged edge…On the jagged edge
Sometimes we give up the thing we love sometimes we can’t let go
Sometimes we let that one true thing slip away and we don’t even know
I need to see a sign to ease my troubled mind
Walkin’ on the jagged edge risked it all to keep my pledge to make this rendezvous
Walkin’ on the jagged edge I could’ve run away instead and lived a life untrue
Walkin’ on the jagged edge lost my way and been mislead but I won’t give up on you
On the jagged edge…On the jagged edge
I think my time is up don’t make me drink this cup
Walkin’ on the jagged edge people say I’ve lost my head squandered all that’s good and true
Walkin’ on the jagged edge they say it’s meaningless but they haven’t got a clue
Walkin’ on the jagged edge I don’t regret the life I’ve led waiting here for you
On the jagged edge…On the jagged edge
