about

Sometimes you do what you have to do until you can do what you want to do.

lyrics

Moved west when I was still mostly young
After the bottom fell
Searching for a better story
One I would be proud to tell
But the only job that I could find
Was cutting down redwood trees
Sometimes you take what you are given
Sometimes you can’t afford your dreams

And its a finer line between wrong and right
Than maybe I want to talk about tonight

Met her down at the local bar
A little tonic in her gin
A little shadow on her finger
Where a wedding ring had been
She said I know i’m not perfect
Lord sure knows I’ve tried
And boy you ain’t much to look at
But I’m known to compromise

And its a finer line between wrong and right
Than maybe I want to talk about tonight
And it’s a finer line between lust and love
That maybe we never get to talk about enough

So baby lets get high
Take the road less traveled by
And that’ll make all the difference
Every time
 We’ll walk that finer line

WHERE THE LOVE LIGHT GLEAMS ~ 2015 (14 original songs about Advent, Christmas & the Coming of Jesus)
by Bill Mallonee

supported by 4 fans who also own “A Finer Line”

A few new songs to start things out, then a collection of some of the best songs from Bill's previous Christmas EPs. "Oh, Winter Light" has a great live feel, and "Forever For You" captures the jazzy winter feel of old 1950's Christmas Classics. It's got Crosby's spirit, if not quite his sound. Craigory Bacon
