Story behind the song

The Line words and music (c) 2007 Don Tassone There was a line Dividing your space from mine There was a time When unlocked doors were a sign When planes flew so close You could swear that the people inside Were waving down at you And the rumble so intense It would rattle the windows behind There was a place In the woods near to our back yard Where you could run And explore and be easy or hard Where the only choice to debate was the shape of a cloud As we lie there on our backs On a carpet of grass I can still see it all in my heart There was a song That exists somewhere in the past Where you could long For the time and the moment to last Where secrets were kept And promises sworn in blood Where a friend was a brother true Always there for you And the music was pure and strong And now there's this That a man for so long can survive Without a trace Of the reason he ever arrived Is the pallet muddled and gray From confusion and loss? Will he ever rise again Is it over for him then? Can you still see it there in his eyes?
