A Fine Line

Lights in the harbor

Lie distant and shimmering

Shadows are falling as if you were here

Trying to remember the faces in photographs

With eyes full of longing

And hearts filled with pain

Deep inside we’re all the same

One breath of wind pushes closer to Trinidad

The bright purple sky

Breaks from clouds to the west

Away she will run

Like the sand through an hourglass

Tonight we’re together, two souls on the sea

Tonight it’s only you and me

And it’s a fine line balancing time

Turn your back to the wind

You’ll never know how it feels to let go

‘Til you’re face to face with losing the race

And no one to blame but yourself

Nights on the water

The ocean will speak to her

And fight like a daughter

Who screams to be heard

Her words are her weapons

The war is the memories

And dreams of a father where no one remains

Deep inside we’re all the same

And it’s a fine line gambling blind

Turn your back to the sun

You’ll never know how it hurts to let go

‘Til you’re face to face with guilt and disgrace

And there’s no one to blame but yourself

There’s a fine line

Between the wrong and the right

There’s a strong sign that I’m losing control

In the half-light I see a woman and child

It’s a beautiful sight but the water is cold

Like the lies we were told

And it’s a fine line balancing time

Turn your back to the sun

You’ll never know how it hurts to let go

‘Til you’re face to face with guilt and disgrace

And there’s no one to blame but yourself
