Album: Different World (1991)

Cross That Line

What do you say to a talk over dinner
Though we haven't spoken for a while
This time I won't take no for an answer
You can't hide forever
From your only son
Let's take a seat
Right here by the window
I remember how you like the view
Now look me in the eye
The truth I wanna hear

The time is right
There's a shadow hanging
Over me tonight

Tell me what you did now
Even though it hurts to say it
It's always been a mystery
Locked behind the door
Tell me if it's true now
Do you need the heart to say it
I always did my best for you
Don't you lie
Don't you lie no more

You taught me the way
To be a winner
And never to play
On the losing side
I guess that I turned out
The way you always planned

So hard, to cross that line
But the words have got to come
From you this time
