The Ledge (2020 Remaster)

All eyes look up to me High above the filthy streets Heed no bullhorn when it calls Watch me fly and die, watch me fall

I'm the boy they can't ignore For the first time in my life, I'm sure All the love sent up high to pledge Won't reach the ledge

Wind blows cold from the west I smell coffee, I smell doughnuts for the press A girl that I knew once years ago Is tryin' to be reached on the phone

I'm the boy she can't ignore For the first time in my life, I'm sure All the love sent up high to pledge

I'm the boy she can't ignore For the first time in my life, I'm sure All the love sent up high to pledge

Priest kneels silent, all is still Policeman reaches from the sill Watch him try, watch him try his best There'll be no medal pinned to his chest

I'm the boy they couldn't ignore For the first time in my life, I'm sure I'm the boy they couldn't ignore For the first time in my life, I'm sure

I'm the boy for the last time in my life

All the love that they pledge For the last time will not reach the ledge
