[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
