Darryl Atherton - Edge of Empire

Is your neighbours grass greener all of the time
Does he have a Lemon Tree or is it a Lime

Living on the edge of empire
Looking at the local church spire
Thoughts turn back to the homeland
Disturbed by a passing marching band

Living on the edge of empire
Moved out here to avoid the mire
Tranquil beaches and life of leisure
Many distractions most of them pleasure

Is your neighbours grass greener all of the time
Does he have a Lemon Tree or is it a Lime

Time and places to practice my art
The more remote only by horse and cart
This place might be paradise lost
But all this comes at a cost

Living on the edge of empire
Always waiting around like a spare tyre
Is it time for me to return home
Or stay and walk barefoot in the sea foam

Living on the edge of empire
Sitting here like the local squire
Decisions on future need to be made
Once taken they will be obeyed

Is your neighbours grass greener all of the time
Does he have a Lemon Tree or is it a Lime

Is your neighbours grass greener all of the time
Does he have a Lemon Tree or is it a Lime
