Toe The Line

from Tecopa (2017) by Dan Frechette

/

about

This song was inspired by thinking back, ahead and looking at the present all at the exact same time. Like playing three violin strings at the same time, a chord of past/present and future.

lyrics

Toe The Line

Just dreaming of you and all the life we’ve been through toeing the line
and doing fine
I’d live it all again change a lover to a friend
Toe the line
doing fine
Can’t say there’s been any time wasted
I haven’t been lost or frustrated
and I haven’t held my breath for a long long time
for a foolish rhyme

I can’t say love’s been unkind to me or the disease that’s down below
the shadow knows
Can’t say I haven’t tried on some other lovers clothes
the shadow knows
Something else is calling me all the time
to go and find another state of mind
and I haven’t held my breath for a long long time
for a foolish rhyme

(Bridge)
The rainbows holding strong overhead
If I ain’t living I might as well be dead
and I haven’t held my breath for a long long time
for a foolish rhyme

I can’t say there’s a crime I ain’t bought with my mind
doing time
The things I’ve figured out without acting without doubt
toe the line
I’m looking at a heart that’s outdated
and I’m looking at a love gone and faded
and I haven’t held my breath for a long long time
for a foolish rhyme
