Eddi Reader - East Of Us lyrics

ha-ha, ah-ee-ah she's an iceberg white and glistening open fire see her melting {holding on to the east of us} there's a tornado turning {I wish you well from the east of us} in the palms of our careless hands {you're a million miles from the east of us} whistling and buring {a long way down our lifeline} tearing down our lifeline he's on a river fast white water he just can't hold her she just can't hold him why d'you do that tear our house down with your nights of swimming and diving and drowning ah diving and drowning {holding on to the east of us} just a tornado turning {I wish you well from the east of us} in the palm of our careless hand {you're a million miles from the east of us} whistling and burning {a long way down our lifeline} tearing down our lifeline so be brave now look I've seen it god it's beautiful never fear it ah, we're at the edge now {ah} crouched and praying it feels like suicide {ah} it feels like flying oh like Icarus {ah} he kissed the sunshine jump we're falling {ah} but stay we're drowning so run and fly... run and fly ooh-aah oh-oo
