The Fine Line - John McLaughlin, The 4th Dimension

I’m lying on a Tuesday morning

with nothing right to say

and living in a piece that saves me

now there’s something in the way

Believe me when I say to you

there’s nothing I can do

cause in my head a song is playing

maybe a song for your dismay

but I’m not strong enough to close that door

but I try and walk away

Believe me when I say to you

there’s nothing I can do

but tell myself that the smile she gives

are not for me

but so our little smile is all I have

And I’m gonna try

to keep this feeling for you at some distance

but the sweetness of your face is what I’ll find

and I guess it’s time I found my spot in line

The time I spend with you is played now

to all the words that I can’t say

and I don’t think that I can last much longer

In this role I have to play

But believe me when I say to you

theres nothing I can do

but tell myself that the smile she gives

are not for me

but so our little smile is all I have

And I’m gonna try

to keep this feeling for you at some distance

but the sweetness of your face is what I’ll find

and then tell myself the smiles she gives

are not for me

but so those smiles are all I have

and I’m going to try and keep

this feeling for you at some distance

but the sweetness of your face is what I’ll find

and I guess it’s time I found my spot in line

one day I’ll find my spot in line
