[00:00.79]Middle Ground - Anthony D'Amato
[00:01.88]
[00:10.26]In between the desert sand and starless sky you'll find me
[00:14.37]
[00:15.05]Searching for a place to land and lights that do not blind me
[00:19.86]I used to live alone now I can't escape the crowd
[00:23.98]
[00:24.59]And every night I go out looking for the middle ground
[00:28.50]
[00:34.52]In between the harvest and the day the fruit goes rotten
[00:38.38]
[00:38.98]Kiss the girls with idle hands see what the devil's taught them
[00:43.94]Maybe it's a curse or maybe it's a crown
[00:47.76]
[00:48.27]Either way I'll wear it proudly looking for the middle ground
[00:52.26]
[00:56.97]I just want a level head
[01:00.47]
[01:01.88]A level heart and a level bed
[01:05.09]
[01:05.93]I'm tired of the sloping floors
[01:09.66]
[01:10.36]They always seem to point me towards
[01:14.21]The door
[01:15.17]
[01:19.14]In between the golden age and grand decline I wonder
[01:23.30]
[01:24.03]How we miss the good old days until they've been outnumbered
[01:28.65]I used to be so shy but now I am too proud
[01:32.62]
[01:33.20]Take me as I am I'm looking for the middle ground
[01:37.35]
[01:43.17]In between Thoreau and Thynne she was like a sailor
[01:47.68]Disappointed by the wind that never seemed to trail her
[01:52.46]I used to love her voice now I cannot take the sound
[01:56.48]
[01:57.04]Oh bury me in rose I'm looking for the middle ground
[02:01.14]
[02:05.59]I just want a level head
[02:09.10]
[02:10.07]A level heart and a level bed
[02:13.50]
[02:14.77]I'm tired of the sloping floors
[02:18.94]They always seem to point me towards
[02:22.80]The door
[02:23.82]
[02:37.81]In between the shallow grave and gallows I remember
[02:42.12]The avalanche the tidal wave the sweetness of surrender
[02:46.88]I tell you this in faith that I still have my doubts
[02:50.92]
[02:51.47]I'm praying for a place that I can call my middle ground
[02:55.47]
[02:57.21]They say that it's within and you cannot live without
[03:01.09]
[03:01.86]All I need's a compass pointing towards the middle ground
