The Marching Line Lyrics

Lyric discussion by MH8411 

Cover art for The Marching Line lyrics by Vanessa Carlton

From the Booklet:

Boots on concrete don't slip on the leaves Smile at the strangers, they'll know what you mean Clouds like cathedrals The night hits the sea

And I walk to the highline Ship's gonna take me at midnight Storm sounding out like an overture Time to join the marching line

Take back your vest Don't know what love is Like a bullet in the chest And I never say it Never known a day without a quiet regret

So I walk to the highline Ship's gonna take me at midnight Storm sounding out like an overture Time to join the marching line Leave it all behind and join the marching line

There's no captain who calls, "What's your name?" In an army of one It's just me and a drum Do you know a love like a bullet in the chest?

Ships on grey seas

The waves keep the time like my heartbeat It's an overture Time to join the marching line Leave it all behind and join the marching line

Fortune tellers Fortunes tell her
