There's a Line

Slow, clean guitar intro with a slight rotary effect

The kettle whistles in the hall

But you don't move at all.

A cigarette burns to the filter tip

Between your frozen fingertip.

The morning light is cold and grey

(Cold and grey)

Another year just slipped away.

Verse 2

One minute you are summer rain

The next, a heavy iron chain.

You love me like a dying wish

Then break the glass and spill the fish.

The water pools around your feet

(Round your feet)

While sirens wail out on the street.

Chorus

There’s a line drawn in the dust

Between the loathing and the trust.

The bridge is burnt, the tide is high

(So high)

We’re waving from a different sky.

You’re reaching out, then pulling back

Watching all the colors fade to black.

(Fade to black)

Bridge

The telephone is off the hook

You’re reading from a hollow book.

The words are there but they don't rhyme

(Don't rhyme)

Just the heavy beat of passing time.

You scream to see if you still feel

To check if any of this is real.

Ohh, it's real.

Gilmour Guitar solo

Verse 3

The doctor says the wires are crossed

In a forest where the map is lost.

You’re building walls to stay inside

Then weeping for a place to hide.

I’m standing right across the floor

(The floor)

But I can't find the handle on the door.

Chorus

There’s a line drawn in the dust

Between the loathing and the trust.

The bridge is burnt, the tide is high

(So high)

We’re waving from a different sky.

You’re reaching out, then pulling back

Watching all the colors fade to black.

(Fade to black)

Outro

Just a flicker.

Yeah.

(A flicker)

Wait for the dial tone.

(Wait for it)

The sun is coming up...

I think.

Fading heartbeat rhythm on a dampened drum
