The Marching Line

Song The Marching Line
Artist Vanessa Carlton

Lyrics

[00:08.24] Boots on concrete
[00:11.51] Don't slip on the leaves
[00:14.20]
[00:15.40] Smile at the strangers
[00:18.65] They'll know what you mean
[00:21.28]
[00:29.76] Clouds like cathedrals
[00:33.07] The night hits the sea
[00:36.13]
[00:38.13] And I walk to the high line
[00:42.88]
[00:43.68] Ship's gonna take me at midnight
[00:49.70]
[00:50.26] The storm sounding out like an overture
[00:56.75] It's time to join the marching line
[01:00.76]
[01:04.12] Take back your vest
[01:07.30] You don't know what love is
[01:10.01] Like a bullet in the chest
[01:13.83]
[01:18.10] And I never say it
[01:21.99] Never known a day without a quiet regret
[01:28.80]
[01:30.47] So I walk to the high line
[01:36.03] Ship's gonna take me at midnight
[01:41.89]
[01:42.78] Storm sounding out like an overture
[01:49.08] It's time to join the marching line;
[01:53.16]
[01:54.36] Leave it all behind, and join the marching line
[01:59.61]
[02:02.07] There's no captain who calls What's your name?
[02:07.56]
[02:12.05] In an army of one
[02:14.29]
[02:19.09] It's just me and a drum
[02:23.96]
[02:30.35] Do you know a love like a bullet in the chest?
[02:36.87]
[02:40.81] Ships on grey seas
[02:44.49]
[02:47.49] The waves keep the time like my heartbeat
[02:52.91]
[02:53.86] It's an overture
[02:56.59]
[02:57.53] It's time to join the marching line,
[03:00.90]
[03:02.41] Leave it all behind and join the marching line
[03:07.40]
[03:11.21] Fortune tellers, fortunes tell her
[03:17.50]
