It's four in the morning, the last dregs of the evening | |
I sit and rock on the front porch swing, ‘til the morning sky starts bleeding | |
It's cool and it's quiet, bats and owls lay down beside it | |
Mourning doves breathe a sigh, as a shadow passes by | |
Well well well - it's so hard to tell | |
There's a line between the light and dark | |
Between heaven and hell | |
Well well well, well, well, wellit's not easy to see | |
What's out there on my left or right | |
Or what's right in front of me | |
There is magic in the dawning, a black and white | |
Escher drawing | |
Night pivots on its axis and turns into the day | |
Devils close down shop and move along | |
Angels wink and slide familiar palms | |
And say, "Good night good luck 'til the day comes roundAnd out on the other side" | |
Well well well - it's so hard to tell | |
There's a line between the light and dark | |
Between heaven and hell | |
Well well well, well, well, wellit's not easy to see | |
What's out there on my left or right | |
Or what's right in front of me | |
Well well well - it's so hard to tell | |
There's a line between the light and dark | |
Between heaven and hell | |
Well well well, well, well, wellit's not easy to see | |
What's out there on my left or right | |
Or what's right in front of me | |
It's beyond my understanding, so much depends on where you're standing | |
Yet I hold it up into the light, to take a better look | |
And I've been plenty wrong before, chose the tiger behind the door | |
But it always seems to make more sense in the pale morning air | |
Well well well - it's so hard to tell | |
There's a line between the light and dark | |
Between heaven and hell | |
Well well well, well, well, wellit's not easy to see | |
What's out there on my left or right | |
Or what's right in front of me |
