Lyrics Look Before You Leap - Tim Feehan

Look Before You Leap

This early summer, so uncertain
Between the crosses row on row
November children never sleeping
Beneath the falling snow
Empty arms that reach out for you
Watch the earth turn at your feet
I have lost my innocence
In the winter of my discontent
Look before you leap
We’re standing right on the edge
I can see my whole life flash before my eyes
Think before you speak
You could get in over your head
And you could lose by a heartbeat
Here we are now
High above this
This perfect earth, beneath the sky
All the humans, all the lovers
Dream their dreams as we go by
Love is plenty, love is famine
In empty fields where airplanes die
Kill the engines as we fly
We are parachutes against the sky
Look before you leap
We’re standing right on the edge
I can see my whole life flash before my eyes
Think before you speak
You could get in over your head
And you could lose by a heartbeat
Did you think this was a game
Where we could spread our wings and fly away
