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
Till 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
Till you're face to face with guilt and disgrace
And there's no one to blame but yourself
