BATTLE LINES - Dana Fuchs


Been hard to find -someone kind - who could hear what I couldn't say
Now it'll take some time - to leave behind - all the words you said that day


Guess i lost myself when I went to find -the one who walked away
Tried to tell myself you were steps behind - try to tell myself you'd stay


I see high tides and river flow - always drift back to sea
Can't hold em close -can't hold anything - pullin' away from me


I know hard rains are bound to fall - making lovers look so strange
My eyes are tired but the battle line - always looks the same


See I left my mama as a little girl - she was all the love I knew
But she was never meant to fight this world - this world is just too cruel


My daddy tried to live a lie - and carry on her love
But he got tired of trying to measure up - to never good enough


I see high tides and river flow - always drift back to sea
Can't hold em close -can't hold anything - pullin' away from me


I know hard rains are bound to fall - making lovers look so strange
Yeah my eyes are tired but the battle line - always looks the same


Now I wake up everyday with a wish to pull me through
I go to sleep every night the same - dreamin it ain't you


Guess I'll lose myself just killing time - til someone tells me what to do
Maybe I'll find another battle line - with no one left to lose


I see high tides and river flow - always drift back to sea
Can't hold em close -can't hold anything - they're pulling away from me


I know a hard rain's got to fall - making lovers look so strange
Well my eyes are tired of seeing it all but the battle line remains
Yeah my eyes are tired of seeing it all but the battle line remains
Oh my eyes are tired of seeing it all but the battle line..
The battle line... remains
