Verse 1
            C               G
If you�re freezing on your left side
            Am             F
And you�re boiling on your right side
          F            G           C
Then I guess you might be warm upon the line
F              G              Am
There are many ways one can divide a life
              C
And I�ve got mine

Verse 2 (same as verse 1)

I was flying home and I
Saw the sunset from the sky
I saw the dark come spooning down upon the land
And I thought about the distance we all cover
And it made me sad

Chorus

    F                 G   
And as the old year took a bow
   C
And joined the setting sun
F               G
It comes around again
 C
Like a refrain
F                G
And we all sing along
             C
And think of things we should�ve done
F              G                C
Till one year when the new year never came

Verse 3

Little comfort, little comfort
I�m afraid you�re not enough
I�ve had some learning both unwelcome and unkind
And it seems there�s but one story told
And then re-worked all throughout time

Verse 4
Are you a good one or a cruel one
It is just the laws that make us bad
What can we do to measure where we stand
Well I judge myself by what I give to someone else
So I�ll know where I am

Chorus 2 

Don�t let that sense of urgency betray you in the dark
The rustle of a curtain�s not a sign
Don�t frame this picture now
As some kind of closing remark
And most of all stay warm upon the line
Most of all stay warm upon the line
It�s best if you stay warm upon the line
