Meet Me At The Edge Of The World - Over the Rhine

One lone tupelo stood against the ironweed

The goldenrod that tamed our need

For something other than fear and greed

Meet me at the edge of the world

Expectations great and small

Unfettered us as I recall

From dreams we scaled before the fall

Into the lap of the world

Cold hard tied like rebar frames

Pale skeleton of the man remains

We’re floating checks and naming names

Paper airplanes to the edge of the world

I remember that face

All the miles we misplaced

Leave behind all but one trace

Walk me to the edge of the world

That lone tupelo soon will be on fire

For all I know with God’s desire

As Autumn in Ohio spirals

Off of the edge of the world

Here we stand on cold concrete ground

‘Cause someone said they liked the sound

I’m thankful that they’ve hung around

But I’m craving the edge of the world

Is it time to disappear?

Oh babe, can we just get out of here?

You and me love and no one near

Walk me to the edge of the world

Meet me at the edge of the world

I’m waiting at the edge of the world

Meet me at the edge of the world
