Edge of Totality
It’s Monday
But nobody’s really working
Everybody’s looking to the skies
Hoping that those clouds
Will roll on over
So we can tell sunset from sunrise
Everybody went and bought some glasses
Then they all went flocking to the lake
Some started singing songs about the south wind
Some prayed, “God save us all, for mercy’s sake”
Here on the edge of totality
The edge of totality
The edge of totality
We just can’t see
We just can’t see
I felt like we were in it
Though it was just a minute
So deep and dark and wide
I felt like we were in it
Though it was just a minute
So deep and dark and wide
You can talk to me about the job I’m doing
You can talk to me ‘bout all the things I’m not
You can say I don’t quite seem to understand things
That I don’t seem to care an awful lot
The story was so “David and Goliath”
The moon stood glaring brightly at the sun
She said, “I know that I might not be the boss here
But I’ll black you out before the day is done.”
Here on the edge of totality
The edge of totality
The edge of totality
You can’t see me
You won’t see me
It was 3:23
Nothin’ but you and me
And the darkness
Total darkness
It was 3:23
Nothin’ but you and me
And the darkness
Total darkness
It’s Monday
And everybody’s working
Nobody is looking to the skies
No one sees the clouds
As they roll over
Nothin’ but our cell phones in our eyes
But there’s one thing that I like to remember
When life is ordinary and just plain dull
That minute in the shadow was so magic
The darkened silence, just so beautiful
On the edge of totality
The edge of totality
The edge of totality
Nothin’ to see
Just you and me
I felt like we were in it
If only for a minute
So deep and dark and wide
I felt like we were in it
If only for a minute
So deep and dark and wide
