Lines on the Road Songtext

von Kristin Diable

You flew into my city
To see another friend of yours,
But we both know that it will be
My open floor, you're sleeping on
We pretend not to know each other
In these new lives we have forged
And i pretend that i don't mind,
We're only catching up on time, because
It's convenient

Well, you know, when you go
I will be counting lines on the road
‘til i remember, life moves slow
But we're always moving along
And we don't know why
Sometimes we get it wrong
But we find our answers in
The new day's sun
In every line on the road
In every line yet to come

The one i'm thinking of
He's got eyes as wide as diamonds (tries to hide ‘em)
And he's running wild tonight
Out across east river's skyline
Yeah he's filling up his hands
With the trappings of the flesh
Oh just to try,
And ease his mind

Well, you know, when you go
I will be counting the lines on the road
‘til i remember, life moves slow
But we're always moving along
And we don't know why
Sometimes we get it wrong
But we find our answers in,
The new day's sun
In every line on the road
In every line yet to come

Long before the new days begins,
They're baking tomorrow's daily bread
For all the starving bodies who do not know that they
Are hungry yet
I could smell it oh so strong
Thought that i felt it on my tongue
But i could not taste it yet
It's funny how sometimes
Senses we normally rely on
Can deceive us just like that

Well, you know, when you go
I will be counting the lines on the road
‘til i remember, love moves slow
But we're always moving along
And we don't know why
Sometimes we get it wrong
We find our answers in
The new day's sun
In every line on the road
In every line yet to come
