I read that life's a state of mind
And truth is something hard to find
When quandaries are a mortal kind

We die so far behind

I'm caught up in these mortal things

My thoughts are grounded, stripped of wings
Suspended by these twisted strings
That hang from heaven


Love we're walking a thin line
Between life and death and truth and lies

We still forget to close our eyes
And let faith guide us


In autumn we would steal away
To a live oak in the dying day
Forgetting how time slips away

We ran so proudly

And from the tree we picked the leaves

And fashioned ourselves autumn wreaths
You crowned me the king of thieves
We laughed so loudly


Love we're walking a thin line
In our attempts to outrun time

To twist the motion, break the rhyme
That gives life reason


Now I wonder this my friend
Where we'll fall and where we'll stand
Will we love until the end

Hearts of stone can never bend

I carved a hole into the earth

And filled it with some whispered words
And so I'd not forget their worth
I set a stone there


I buried all the words she'd said
But some still lingered in my head

The words you find are never dead
Because you loved them


Babe we're walking a thin line
Between life and death and truth and lies
We still forget to close our eyes

And let faith guide us

So I wonder this my friends

Where we'll fall and where we'll stand
Will we love until the end
Warmer hearts are prone to bend
