paroles de chanson Soft Line - Lucy Wainwright Roche

One smile is a lot to ask
From a city known for glass
And for all of the trains that pass
Five for every hour

That look is a rule of thumb
Lapping up against the doors of sun
Isn't that where the sin comes from
That lies beside the sea

Watch out or the sun will set
On the picture we tried to paint
On the story of why we met
The maker or the man

So light up with a golden blaze
But it's as empty as any maze
And they sure build 'em high these days
You wonder, were you kind?

See none of this was mine
I knew that almost all the time
That I took a soft line
With you

A good plan can be hard to find
Here you can choose from a dozen lines
But they all run on railroad time
So everyone agrees

But sometimes it's a shorter walk
Miss the station, miss the talk
And miss the opening door you locked
And look the other way

See none of this was mine
I knew that almost all the time
That I took a soft line
With you

Time to stay alone
We didn't really know
Well let the record show
That I did know
