The Line
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
