I read that life's a state of mind
And truth is something hard to find
When quandaries are a mortal kind
We die so far behind

I'm caught up in these mortal things
My thoughts are grounded, stripped of wings
Suspended by these twisted strings
That hang from heaven

Love we're walking a thin line
Between life and death and truth and lies
We still forget to close our eyes
And let faith guide us

In autumn we would steal away
To a live oak in the dying day
Forgetting how time slips away
We ran so proudly

And from the tree we picked the leaves
And fashioned ourselves autumn wreaths
You crowned me the king of thieves
We laughed so loudly

Love we're walking a thin line
In our attempts to outrun time
To twist the motion, break the rhyme
That gives life reason

Now I wonder this my friend
Where we'll fall and where we'll stand
Will we love until the end
Hearts of stone can never bend

I carved a hole into the earth
And filled it with some whispered words
And so I'd not forget their worth
I set a stone there

I buried all the words she'd said
But some still lingered in my head
The words you find are never dead
Because you loved them

Babe we're walking a thin line
Between life and death and truth and lies
We still forget to close our eyes
And let faith guide us

So I wonder this my friends
Where we'll fall and where we'll stand
Will we love until the end
Warmer hearts are prone to bend
