Letra Lifeline - Gordon Lightfoot
I was in some timeless place;
Timeless face; my embrace
Held empty air and empty space
All on a sunny day
She lived by the bounding main
To Baltimore, I took a plane
An East Coast lady lit my flame
All on a sunny day
I was in some dreamless sleep
Where angels watch as lovers leap;
Some of them landed on their feet
Living the lifeline straight
She was like the breath of spring
When flowers grow and robins sing
Keeping me from the pouring rain
All on a summer's day
There's a lifeline that I know
And it holds me back and lets me go
Whatever I do, I don't live my lifeline straight
So it goes as lifetimes pass
From heart to mind and back again
My restlessness becomes a flame
Letting my lifeline show
She stood by the boundless tide
Afraid to ride, afraid to hide
Letting her conscience be her guide
Needing a lifeline so
I was in some aimless state
Where lovers meet while angels wait
With gifts of time, they hesitate
All on a sunny day
She lived by the bounding main
From Baltimore, I took a train
An East Coast lady lit my flame
All on a summer's day
There's a lifeline in my soul
And it holds me back and lets me go
I'm in love, so I've been told
Letting the lifeline stay
I've got a heartline in the air
And if you listen for me, you'll find me there
Whatever I do, I don't live my lifeline straight
