Broken White Line Songtext

It was almost fine, you were almost mine

It was you and me and love made three on a broken white line



Well that night was long, there was one more song and then we were on our way

Driving slow, no place to go and nothing more to say

And the rain came down around that car like we were underneath the sea

In the back seat, almost drowning, holding on to me



It was almost fine, you were almost mine

And from town to town we chased it down on a broken white line
Looking in your eyes was just like staring at the sun

Always thought that I'd go blind or end up all undone

And in the end I turned my face away from where you shone so bright

Now I wake in all this darkness crying for a little of your light



It's been four years and now I find I've been living all this time

I built myself a little world of rhythm and of rhyme

But sometimes I take your picture and I turn it to the wall

Because you are still a cliff and baby I still know how to fall



It was almost fine, you were almost mine

But day by day you slipped away down that broken white line



It was you and me and love made three
