Cross That Line

[boneonbone]

Here's a song I recently co-wrote with a keyboard player friend who had lyrics looking for a home.   I wrote the music, and recorded on the BR800. I played acoustic, bass and all vocals and my friend added keyboards.  Here are the lyrics:


Cross That Line  c:2012

You tell me that you're "sorry" like a hundred times before
And I'm nursing cuts and bruises and I don't want any more
Now you're acting oh so warm and sweet, and giving me your love
And the scars here deep inside are growing deeper.

And I know in my heart that the time has come to go
And you see it in my eyes and you say
Don't cross that line

I used to have some friends before you drove them all away
I used to smile at the thought of starting a new day
You tried to cage my thoughts as well as everything I do
I no longer can remember who I am

But if I stay here any longer I'm afraid I'll fade away
I can't look into the mirror unless I
Cross that line

Bridge

Ahhh............... Do I go? Ahhh...............Should I go? I don't know.

Well I've gathered up a few things and I'm headed out the door
When you get home, this evening you won't see me anymore
I don't know where I'm going, or how I will survive
But anything is better if I want to stay alive

And my heart is that much lighter now that I have turned to go
I am weakened, but I'm certain now that I
Have crossed that line.

(I crossed that line)

I liked listening to this.  Great vocals, lead, backing, and harmonizing.  I loved the acoustic guitar rythym work.

This is a killer good song bone! It has a Tom Petty feel but the keyboard makes it a different and flowing vibe. great recording. I love the vocals and the backing vox are perfect too. Great great song..be proud!!

Thanks to everyone for giving a listen and for your feedback.  Next time I have something written I'd like to get one or more of the many talented musicians on this site to lend their skills on a collaboration.  Being an acoustic player I don't have the skill on electric or bass that most of you do and I'd love to hear what some of you could do with one of my songs.
