There Is a Line
The future seemed dimmer and unbearably cold
The nights we learned there's a meanness in this world
And it will find you
I still recall the yellow flowers you held
My room in the basement and the nights it rained like hell
Until the morning
Now there is a light that sharply divides this
This great expanse of space and time
With you on your side and me on mine
If this should be the last song I sing I'd
I'd like to tell you just one thing
How I loved you desperately
I'll rattle the screws loose on this hospital bed
Sickly and stirring from the things I should have said
When I said nothing
I should have known you would have listened to me
You'd save me from drowning in the secrets that I keep
You could have saved me
Now there is a light that sharply divides this
This great expanse of space and time
With you on your side and me on mine
If this should be the last song I sing I'd
I'd like to tell you just one thing
I loved you, I still love you desperately
