Close to the edge
Close to the edge

Passions surging
Life emerging
Pressure ceases
Missing pieces

Break through
Break free
I'm telling you
Quit pushing me

Close to the edge

Promise me no lies
Promise me
Promise me no lies
Promise me

Close to the edge
Close to the edge

Break through
Break free

Close to the edge
Close to the edge
Close to the edge
Close to the edge

Love is waiting
Incubating
Passion surging

Robert Allen Palmer (19 January 1949 – 26 September 2003) was an English singer-songwriter[1] and musician. He was known for his distinctive soulful voice, eclectic mix of musical styles on his albums, combining soul, jazz, rock, pop, reggae and blues and sartorial acumen. He found success both in his solo career and with the Power Station, and had Top 10 songs in both the UK and the US.

His iconic music videos directed by British fashion photographer Terence Donovan for the hits “Addicted to Love” and “Simply Irresistible” featured identically dressed dancing women with pale faces, dark eye makeup and bright red lipstick, which resembled the women in the art of Patrick Nagel, an artist popular in the 1980s. Palmer’s involvement in the music industry commenced in the 1960s, covered four decades and included a spell with Vinegar Joe.
