If you're freezing on your left side And you're boiling on your right side Then I guess you might be warm upon the line There are many ways one can divide a life And I've got mine
I was flying home and I Saw the sunset from the sky I saw the dark come spooning down upon the land And I thought about the distance we all cover And it made me sad
And as the old year took a bow And joined the setting sun It comes around again Like a refrain And we all sing along And think of things we should've done Till one year when the new year never came
Little comfort, little comfort I'm afraid you're not enough I've had some learning both unwelcome and unkind And it seems there's but one story told And then re-worked all throughout time
Are you a good one or a cruel one It is just the laws that make us bad What can we do to measure where we stand Well I judge myself by what I give to someone else So I'll know where I am
Don't let that sense of urgency betray you in the dark The rustle of a curtain's not a sign Don't frame this picture now As some kind of closing remark And most of all stay warm upon the line Most of all stay warm upon the line It's best if you stay warm upon the line
