The Line Songtext

von Willy Porter

I know he was unkind
Though I don't know what he did
He left a scar on you that you keep hid
We could have been so good
We could have run the lights
Something inside of you just froze up tight

I've been half in love before
I can't live here anymore

Now I walk the line
Between the truth and the lies
Between the sighted and blind
I'm walking the line

I was a painter at a sidewalk café
Telling my story with a brush and paint
Even if the good folks said it's a masterpiece
If I don't see the truth, the rain can wash it away

I've been half in love before
Been too proud to ask for more

Now I walk the line
Between the truth and the lies
Between the sighted and blind
Yeah, I'm walking the line
Now I walk the line for a taste of your wine
To be tied with your twine
I am walking the line
Only a fool would stay
Make his bed out in the rain
Out in the rain

I have been that man in so many ways
For too many days
It's all gone astray, all gone astray
For your love, I walk the line
