every time we do this
i fall for her
wave after wave after wave
it's all for her
i know this can't be wrong i say
(and i'll lie to keep her happy)
as long as i know that you know
that today i belong
right here with you
right here with you...
and so we watch the sun come up
from the edge of the deep green sea
and she listens like her head's on fire
like she wants to believe in me
so i try
put your hands in the sky
surrender
remember
we'll be here forever
and we'll never say goodbye...
i've never been so
colourfully-see-through-head before
i've never been so
wonderfully-me-you-want-some-more
and all i want is to keep it like this
you and me alone
a secret kiss
and don't go home
don't go away
don't let this end
please stay
not just for today
never never never never never let me go she says
hole me like this for a hundred thousand million days
but suddenly she slows
and looks down at my breaking face
why do you cry? what did i say?
but it's just rain i smile
brushing my tears away...
i wish i could just stop
i know another moment will break my heart
too many tears
too many times
too many years i've cried over you
how much more can we use it up?
drink it dry?
take this drug?
looking for something forever gone
but something
we will always want?
why why why are you letting me go? she says
i feel you pulling back
i feel you changing shape...
and just as i'm breaking free
she hangs herself in front of me
slips her dress like a flag to the floor
and hands in the sky
surrenders it all...
i whish i could just stop
i know another moment will break my heart
too many tears
too many times
too many years i've cried for you
it's always the same
wake up in the rain
head in pain
hung in shame
a different name
same old game
love in vain
and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
away from home again...

Review about From The Edge Of The Deep Green Sea Moves Me To Tears | Reviewer: Phil | 10/26/09
There are quite a few songs which can move me to tears but this one does it almost every time. The music is perfect, with its catchy, overlaid melodies so typical of Robert Smith's song writing and lyrics which describe pain, anguish and love in epic and heart-wrenching fashion.
Oh, and a note to 'Crooked': This song has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with King Henry VIII, who famously had six wives. None of them hung themselves, although he did behead two of them. If you listen properly the lyric in the song has nothing to do with anyone literally being hanged, it's describing the woman he's trying to break free from seducing him again.
This is another Cure song that took it's inspiration from history and literature. "Killing an Arab" came from the wonderful (but short) book "The Stranger".
This song has it's origins in an English King.
I want to say it's based on King Henry the 8th, but I may be wrong. It was based on the king that killed seven of his wives, and this song is a direct reference to it. She hung herself in front of him.
It makes this piece even more haunting than it already is. Good stuff, but it's a shame that it will never be heard by most people as it's too long for radio!
Intense | Reviewer: Heather | 12/8/08
This is one of the best songs I've ever heard. Like Mikael said, it's the variation and the interweaving of those traits that make it. I'm always drawn to very intense music and this song just yanks your heart out of your chest. One of the things that really amazes me- when I listen to the intro, as the layers of musical elements build, it sounds (to me at least) evocative of ocean related sounds - (not in order) ships clanging/banging into docks & one another - seagulls, waves, almost even a foghorn. I'm interested if anyone else can hear these things... But it's impressive to me that they are able to convey that atmosphere with instruments, not obvious sound effects. It's hauntingly beautiful but very intense and gripping at the same time. I love Fascination Street, Disintegration, Doing the Unstuck, Open, End, so many others (everything on Show), but this song exemplifies what The Cure is, incredibly talented musicality and unavoidable emotional invasion. And I just love that they can be so heavy and so sad and catchy and intense all at once in a way that essentially showcases the talent of the individual artists/musicians. I've even got my 65 year old mom listening to them...
One last song before you die - this is it | Reviewer: Mikael Kyrklund | 1/29/08
Prisoners are always allowed to pick one last meal but wouldn't it be more giving to pick one last song? I rate Cure as one of the top three band ever but for me the first two will always be Depeche and most of all - Morrissey.
Apparantly Robert and Moz hates eachother but who cares?, Robert has written the best song ever, my future wife had never heard much of Cure when we met, but after two hours in the bathtub with The edge... on repeat she relized that I was her man and that this song would never be beaten.
The brilliance of it is it's variation, it's violent, sensitive, brutal, honest and most of all moving, no one with a heart and soul can resist this song, listen to it and feel a bit more alive, isn't that what art should be about?
Amazing | Reviewer: Anon | 1/25/08
This song embodies what I really love about The Cure - the raw unfettered emotion that anyone (in touch with his or herself) can't help but be completely drawn to and hypnotized by.
my favorite song of all time ever by anyone. tugs at my emotions violently whenever I listen to it. no song I know of still produces as strong a feeling within me as this. I consider pornography the cure's "best" album, but wish is definitely my -favorite- album and this is definitely my favorite song.
I never thought of it as being "possibly the best Cure song ever." I know it stood out a mile on the album it which it appeared. But, you might be right, in that it is better than anything on Disintegration. That statement itself is pretty mind-blowing - I never realised it before. But still, doesn't Head on the Door still stand as the high water mark? Can this song really stand up to all of these?

Trip to the edge of the deep green sea | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/21/07
This is possibly the best Cure song ever. I've been listening to the cure since Faith. This one song blows away anything on Disintegration. It is a swirling, harrowing, beautiful song. One of the most powerful songs ever, by anyone. If you think Stairway to Heaven is a trip, listen to this. You will be changed forever. As a post above said, it will blow your mind.
Up there with their best | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/10/07
The Cure have written some good songs & some Epics. This is an Epic. Though essentially a love song it is as existential & heavy as any of their 'Heavy' songs. A great grinding trip to the essential.
