Gordon Lightfoot - Lifeline Lyrics
I was in some timeless place;Timeless face; my embraceHeld empty air and empty space,All on a sunny day.She lived by the bounding main.To baltimore, I took a plane.An east coast lady lit my flameAll on a sunny day.I was in some dreamless sleepWhere angels watch as lovers leap;Some of them landed on their feet,Living the lifeline straight.She was like the breath of springWhen flowers grow and robins sing,Keeping me from the pouring rainAll on a summers day.Theres a lifeline that I knowAnd it holds me back and lets me go.Whatever I do, I dont live my lifeline straight.So it goes as lifetimes pass,From heart to mind and back again.My restlessness becomes a flame,Letting my lifeline show.She stood by the boundless tide,Afraid to ride, afraid to hide,Letting her conscience be her guide,Needing a lifeline so.I was in some aimless stateWhere lovers meet while angels wait.With gifts of time, they hesitateAll on a sunny day.She lived by the bounding main.From baltimore, I took a train.An east coast lady lit my flameAll on a summers day.Theres a lifeline in my soulAnd it holds me back and lets me go.Im in love, so Ive been told,Letting the lifeline stay.Ive got a heartline in the air,And if you listen for me, youll find me there.Whatever I do, I dont live my lifeline straight.
