Edge Of The Night - Rooftop Session

This is the second video from my rooftop acoustic sessions. This song is inspired by the story of my grandfather who had to flee war when he was a young teenager. The song was filmed in one take in the summer of 2020 on a roof in Hamburg, Germany.

LYRICS

deep in the bleak winter
deep in the darkest hours of the night
I was just thirteen years old and on the the run

for just beyond the coal-black curtain
and just beyond the church bell’s brittle toll
came the sound of guns a-rattlin' through the cold

flee! take flight!
a candle burns at the edge of the night
a fox will slip through the acres of pine
there’s a snowmelt at the end of the line

so with just our leather boots and layered coat on
and a handful of books and some fleshy bones
we caught a lone cattle train that was rattlin’ through the wold

flee! take flight! a candle burns at the edge of the night
a fox will slip through the acres of pine
there’s a snowmelt at the end of the line
