lyrics

You danced and twirled
Dressed up in lace and leather
Walk up to you
I know that I could never
When you sing your tune
With that sly look in your eye
I'd beg your kiss
Just one kiss before I die

You'll break my heart
I know it from the start

I'm on the edge
Edge of a knife
I found my love
On the edge of a knife

And then you walked up
You singled me out in the crowd
Eyes locked on me
As if there were only ghosts 'round
I held you tight
As your lips approached mine
A hungry embrace
Our bodies intertwined

You'll break my heart
I know it from the start

And I'm on the edge
Edge of a knife
I found my love
On the edge of a knife

And I'm on the edge
Edge of a knife
Where I found my love
Where I found...

The love of my life
On the edge of a knife
The love of my life
On the edge of a knife
