Old as the colors
of midnight
when the world holds its breath--
Shadows whisper as
they pass by
full of the mystery of Death--
Dark as the mountains
of the moon
where El Dorado lies--
Bright as the golden
mother-lode
where nightningales fly--
On the edge of the storm,
the piper plays
leading us on
by secret unseen ways.
Need is the fire
of living
that burns us to the bone--
Cold is the track that
claims our soul
when together we're still alone--
On the edge of the storm,
the piper plays
leading us on
by secret unseen ways.
You can rise thru the flame and thunder
if you're stronger than your dream.
There's life in a song, and love in the wind,
just find your own words to sing.
On the edge of the storm,
the piper plays
leading us on
until we find our way...
On the edge of the storm--
On the edge of the storm--
On the edge of the storm--
