On The Edge Of A Dream
Composer(s): Bert Jansch
Performer(s): Bert Jansch



Rock baby rock
In your cradle serene
Rock baby rock
All is not what it seems
You’re living like a shadow
On the edge of a dream

Rock baby rock
Can you hear your mama cry
Rock baby rock
She’s crying why, why, why
She bears the pain and sorrow
Be you dead or alive
Rock baby rock
Give it all that you’ve got

Rock baby rock
It may not mean a lot
Every second that you’re living
Will never ever be forgot
Rock baby rock
You gotta rock and roll

Rock and roll
Is good for the soul
Come in from the edge
And let the good times roll
Rock baby rock now
In your cradle serene
Rock baby rock
All is not what it seems
You’re living life like a shadow
On the edge of a dream
