Outside Edge on stage at Shadows Bar

One of the earliest songs performed by the Outside Edge and a regular in our live shows right until the last show played by Beyond the Edge.

Lyrics

Chorus

You don’t have to see me in the morning
To know where I come from
You don’t have to read the pages
To understand what’s going on
I’m a runner, I’m a runner of the dawn.

Verse

Open your eyes and take a long look
See the faces smile,
A grin to take the pain they mistook.
Remember when there were days of love?
Remember when we said enough was enough?

Chorus

You don’t have to see me in the morning
To know where I come from
You don’t have to read the pages
To understand what’s going on
I’m a runner, I’m a runner of the dawn.

Verse

Listen to the voices when they tell you what you need to know
Tongues coil round stories as the recount them
Blow by blow.
Remember when, peace fought to stop war?
Remember when, everyone was who was cared for?

Chorus

You don’t have to see me in the morning
To know where I come from
You don’t have to read the pages
To understand what’s going on
I’m a runner, I’m a runner of the dawn.
