(Uh 1, 2, 3, 4)
There is a fine line, between recklessness and courageIt's about time you understood which road to takeIt's a fine line, your decision makes a differenceGet it wrong, you'll be making a big mistake
Come home brother, all is forgivenWe all cried when you were driven awayCome home brother, everything is betterEverything is better when you come home to stay
Whatever's more important to youYou've got to choose what you wanna doWhatever's more important to beThat's the view that you've gotta see
There is a long way between chaos and creationIf you don't say which one of these you're gonna chooseIt's a long way and if every contradictionSeems the same, it's a game that you're bound to lose
Come home brother, all is forgivenWe all cried when you were driven awayCome home brother, everything is betterEverything is better when you come home to stay
Come on backCome on backCome on back to me
It's a fine lineIt's a fine line
(It's a fine line) Whatever's more important to you(It's a fine line) You've got to choose what you wanna do(It's a fine line) Whatever's more important to beWell that's the view that you've gotta see
It's a fine lineIt's a fine lineIt's a fine lineIt's a fine lineIt's a fine lineIt's a fine line

How kind of you to think of meWhen I was out of sortsIt really meant a lot to beIn someone else's thoughtsSomeone else's mindSomeone else as kind as you
The thoughtfulness you showed has madeA difference in my lifeI won't forget how unafraidYou were that long dark night
I thought that all was lostI thought I'd never findA someone quite as kind as you
I thought my faith had goneI thought there couldn't beA someone who was there for me
How kind of you to stick by meDuring the final boutAnd listen to the refereeAs I was counted out
I thought my time was upI thought I'd never findA someone quite as kind as you
I thought my faith had goneI thought there couldn't beA someone who was there for me
How kind of you to think of meHow kind of you

Like so many girls, Jenny Wren could singBut a broken heart took her song away
Like the other girls, Jenny Wren took wingShe could see the world and its foolish ways
How we spend our days, casting love asideLosing sight of life, day by day
She saw poverty breaking up her homeWounded warriors took her song away
But the day will come, Jenny Wren will singWhen this broken world mends its foolish ways
Then we'll spend our days catching up on lifeAll because of you, Jenny WrenYou saw who we are, Jenny Wren

At the mercy, at the mercyAt the mercy of a busy roadWho can handle such a heavy load?
At the mercy, at the mercyAt the mercy of a busy dayWe can think of nothing more to say
If you show me love, I won't refuseI know you'd never make me chooseBetween the love I've got and the love I'd lose
Sometimes I'd rather run and hideThen stay and face the fear inside
At the mercy, at the mercyAt the mercy of a busy dayWho can bear to turn their head away?
At the mercy, at the mercyAt the mercy of a busy roadWe can watch the universe explode
If you take me up, I won't say noI guess you'd rather see me growInto a better man than the one you know
Sometimes my head is hanging lowIt's time to get on with the show
At the mercy, at the mercyAt the mercy of a busy dayI can think of nothing more to say

So tell me what I wanna knowI'll be waiting on the other side for your friends to go
Someone else can worry about meI've spent a lot of time on my ownI've spent a lot of time on my own

Laugh when your eyes are burningSmile when your heart is filled with painSigh as you brush away your sorrowMake a vow that's it's not going to happen again
It's not rightIn one lifeToo much rain
You know the wheels keep turningWhy do the tears run down your face?We used to hide away our feelingsBut for now, tell yourself it won't happen again
It's not rightIn one lifeToo much rain
It's too much for anyoneToo hard for anyoneWho wants a happy and peaceful life?You've gotta learn to laugh
Smile when you're spinning round and roundSigh as you think about tomorrowMake a vow that you're gonna be happy again
It's all rightIn your lifeNo more rain
It's too much for anyoneToo hard for anyoneWho wants a happy and peaceful life?You've gotta learn to laugh

Would you care to sit with meFor a cup of English tea?Very twee, very meAny sunny morning
What a pleasure it would beChatting so delightfullyNanny bakes fairy cakesEvery Sunday morning
Miles and miles of English garden stretching past the willow treeLines of hollyhocks and roses listen most attentively
Do you know the game croquet?Peradventure we might playVery gay, hip hoorayAny sunny morning
Miles and miles of English garden stretching past the willow treeLines of hollyhocks and roses listen most attentively
As a rule the church bells chimeWhen it's almost supper timeNanny bakes fairy cakesOn a Sunday morning

A certain softness in her eyes fascinates meMore than I ever thought it would (A certain softness)More than I ever thought it couldA certain softness in her eyesGot me hookedGot me hooked
A kind of sadness in her smile captivates meSurer than anything that's sure (A kind of sadness)Surer than anything beforeA kind of sadness in her smileGot me hookedGot me hookedGot me hooked
If even can even find the words to tellI wouldn't want to anyway'Cause that would only break the spellAnd you know very well I couldn't betray her
The touch of wildness in her style haunts my memoryMore than I ever thought it would (A touch of wildness)More than I ever thought it couldA touch of wildness in her styleGot me hookedGot me hookedGot me hooked
A certain softness in her eyes fascinates meMore than I ever thought it would (A certain softness)More than I ever thought it couldA certain softness in her eyesGot me hookedGot me hooked

I bit my tongueI never talked too muchI tried to be so strongI did my bestI used the gentle touchI've done it for so long
You put me downBut I can laugh it offAnd act like nothing's wrongBut why pretend?I think I've heard enoughOf your familiar song
I tell you what I'm gonna doI'll try to take my mind off youAnd now that you don't need my helpI'll use the time to think about myself
You're not awareOf what you put me throughBut now the feeling's goneBut I don't mindDo what you have to doYou don't fool anyone
I'll tell you what I'm gonna doI'll take a different point of viewAnd now that you don't need my helpI'll use the time to think about myself
The definition of friendshipApparently ought to beShowing support for the one that you loveAnd I was open to friendshipBut you didn't seem to have any to spareWhile you were riding to Vanity Fair
There was a timeWhen every day was youngThe sun would always shineWe sang alongWhen all the songs were sungBelieving every line
That's the trouble with friendshipFor someone to feel itIt has to be real or it wouldn't be rightAnd I keep hoping for friendshipBut I wouldn't dare to presume it was thereWhile you were riding to Vanity Fair
While you were riding to Vanity FairWhile you were riding to Vanity FairWhile you were riding to Vanity Fair

You lift up my spirits, you shine on my soulWhenever I'm empty, you make me feel wholeI can rely on you to guide me through any situationYou hold up a sign that reads "Follow me"
You give me direction, you show me the wayYou give me a reason to face every dayI can depend on you to send me to any destinationYou hold up a sign that reads "Follow me", follow me
Down the track of loneliness, down the path of loveThrough the words of heartache to the endOn the shores of sorrow where the waves of hope crash inThe perfect place for me to find a friend
You lead me to places that I've never beenUncovering secrets that I've never seenI can rely on you to guide me through any situationYou hold up a sign that reads "Follow me", follow meFollow me, follow meFollow me, follow meFollow me, follow me
