lyrics

There's a fine line between what glitters like gold and what may annihilate an innocent soul. Ain't it all so cold and grey
 alone
?

You try to keep an evil mind busy 
but them bright lights got a death grip on thee. Ain't it all so cold and grey alone?

Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna say...
When everything falls apart?

You'll be left lying there.
You'll be left lying uneasy.

Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna say...
When time ain't on your side?

There's a fine line between what is true and what is told and all that may liberate a kidnapped soul. Ain't it all so bright and alive
 with you
?

Until you are what you know you ought to be 
happiness ain't ever gonna head your way. Ain't it all so cold and grey alone?

I now know that home is in your arms
 and heaven is but wherever I am free from harm. Ain't it all so bright and alive together?

With the tide high and you right by my side it ain't so hard to hear that child inside.

Ain't living sure a lot like
 LIFE 
together
?
