This Line Has Broken - Dougie MacLean

How long did you think it would take

Until it started to weaken?

And how long could you fumble and fake

And not see it was beaten?

And you crave for the other man’s shoes

You break and you bite you black and you bruise

But this line has broken

And what could have been saved has been wasted away

This line has broken

And what could have been saved has been wasted away

And you’ve no right to act like the child

Who’s been lost and forsaken

And you’ve no right to be angry and wild

At the choices you’ve taken

And you crave for the other man’s time

You black and you bruise you creep and you climb

But this line has broken

And what could have been saved has been wasted away

This line has broken

And what could have been saved has been wasted away

The wind blows on friendship’s young face

Look at it burning turning fading away

We all crave for the other man’s light

We hope and we dream but we know what feels right

But this line has broken

And what could have been saved has been wasted away

This line has broken

And what could have been saved has been wasted away
