On the Edge of the Forest Lyrics

Here, on the edge of the forest
You ask me to stay
You ask me to be your lady
Here, at the close of the day
And what can I say?
Chorus:
Another day, another time
And I might have said, "Yes"
You're so easy to hold on to
And I love you, I guess

But I cannot forget
All the dark promises I've made
And it would be so easy
Just to let love carry me away

[Interlude]
The girl you see could never be
The things you dream
I could never walk behind you
Never heard and only seen

And these are things I know
That I must have for my own:
The strength to go forward
The strength to carry on alone

And alone I will wander
Sometimes my thoughts will be of you
And in time you may understand me
And all the soft things I do
Will be echoes of my time with you
[Chorus]

Here, on the edge of the forest
You ask me to stay
You ask me to be your lady
Here, at the close of the day
And what can I say?

And what can I say?
Here, on the edge of the forest
And what can I say?
