Indigo Girls - Draw The Line lyrics

on "Blue Food." (Additionally, there's a live version of it on the

legendary "Purple Parrot" bootleg - I mention it only because it is

immediately followed by a version of Elvis Costello's "Girls Talk" -

which is probably the only occasion in the history of music itself

that a band has played two songs in a row that both include the word

"jaded.")

Draw the Line.

You can write me a letter

But I won't tell you where I am

You can send me a postcard, baby

But I won't tell you where I stand

Well, I'm right outside of your window

And I'm walking on through your love

And I'm giving you all I can, babe

But I know you've been thinking "No."

And now, baby, it's time

Baby, it's time

To draw the line

Draw the line

You may have good intentions

And I may be dead wrong

If what you see here isn't love, babe

It's 'cause I'm too tired to be that strong

Now I'm burned out on your affection

Because it comes from a jaded tongue

And I'm burned out on your direction, baby

I know I'm not the only one

Baby, it's time

Baby, it's time

To draw the line

Draw the line

Draw that line, baby

Draw that line, yeah

Keep it straight

Keep it close

And tell me

What do you have in mind?

(solo)

I'm gonna take this heartache

I'm gonna turn it all inside out

I'm gonna find every livin' last drop of love

Until I'm too sure to have any doubt

Now you can love me if you want me

Or you can turn away and tell me to go

Now you can write me a letter

You can send me a postcard

But don't tell me what you're thinking

If you really don't know, baby

Baby, it's time to draw the line

Draw the line

Yeah, draw that line
