lyrics

You came over my shoulder
With a point of view
No one but you could expect

Your eyes far away like a soldier's
In those pools you kept me
And never let me forget

Before I knew what had happened
I was older
And you a false prophet I couldn't resurrect

But we crossed
The borderline
Slipped down
The other side

Could have swept that line away
From the sand
Had we used our feet
Instead of our hands

So many white envelopes to open
And so few to whom
A response or a tune you will send

Maybe somewhere on the other end
Somebody's hoping
After all this time to ease the mind of an old friend

But we crossed
The borderline
Slipped down
The other side

Could have swept that line away
From the sand
Had we used our feet
Instead of our hands

Now I hope you are well
'Cross these idle miles
And silver turnstiles I just can't tell

From your words black on a white glowing page
If you're young like you were
Or if like me, you've aged
