about

This song is a classic tale of love, loss and letting go. I don't write that many love songs, but this was one of the early ones that really means a lot to me.

lyrics

Never was gonna settle down
Like a bullet from a gun I would leave this town
A cloud of dust behind me as I flew
Nothing could make me stay behind
No nothing would make me change my mind
I turned around and I caught a glimpse of you

Standing there with your scruffy hair
And your big brown eyes and a longing stare
You stood right in my path and said 'don't go'
You took me in your arms, you took me to your bed
You stole my heart, messed up my head
Showed me a love I never thought I'd know

(Chorus)
And it's a fine line baby
Between falling in love and going crazy
The line ain't straight, twisting all the time
Lines get blurred and lines get crossed
Soon we're mourning a love we lost
It's a fine line baby, a fine line

The seasons came, the seasons went
And I still dream about those days we spent
Just hanging by the river out on the edge of town
Young and free as the birds above
Yet somehow trapped by the chains of love
Forgot our wings and found we had settled down

Looking back now it's hard to believe
How I didn't see it coming that I'd have to leave
Break your heart to go and find my way
The bullet from the gun was caked in rust
And I had to go and make my cloud of dust
It's better late than never, so they say

Chorus

And it's a fine line we're walking through the tangle of our hearts
It's a fine mess we're making trying to mend the broken parts
It's a fine love we had but all good things come to an end
And it's a fine line we've walked through life my friend

Chorus
