It’s not the first time
It won’t be the last
That I walk this broken line
Between the darkness
And the break of day
Between the blessing and the curse
Hanging by a thread
Between the devil and the clear blue sky
Between the fire and the storm
Between the camel and the needle’s eye
Between the hound and the wolf *
Hanging by a thread
SOLO
Beneath the softness of a gentle hand
Between the heartbeat and the sigh
Beneath the deadlock of a one-track mind
Between the promise and the lie
Hanging by a thread
It’s not the first time
Bet it’s not the last
That I walk this broken line
Between the gloaming
And the still of night
Between the blessing and the curse
* A variation on the French phrase, ‘entre chien et loup’, literally ‘between the dog and the wolf’, i.e. between twilight barking and night howling, metaphor-ically between sunset and the dead of night, as echoed in the last verse.
