The Line Lyrics

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 cafe

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 away

for your love I walk the line
