She Tows The Line Lyrics - Breaks In The Armor - Crooked Fingers

she tows the line 

up the river, through the low lands 

hanging out on the jetty, 

by the arcade, it ain't high 

see it so clear in her eyes 

she won't be bringing it up again 

so she rises and goes 

so they'd never know 

that she even came here at all 

couldn't count the times 

we'd believe in, just for going 

walking the banks of the levy 

where the old hopes all get thrown 

as soon as we drift from their sight 

they won't dare bring our names up again 

and we'll rise and we'll hope 

that they'll never know 

that we even came here at all 

he thinks we ride 

on the meadow, heavy rolling 

heading into the city 

like they all have some place to go 

to leave it now, so far behind 

you can't blame people for giving in 

to decide where they go 

so they never know 

that we even came here at all
