Intro D

A             Em            D          A
The line runs through like a train in a book
A         G           D             A
Or meters underwater, ending with a hook
A               Em              D              A
It sways in the air when there's wind enough to lift,
A                 G               D          A
The fine ones are boundaries when There is a rift

D                     Bm

A             Em            D              A
The line, it inks across the freshly fallen snow,
A          G               D              A
Where only those embracing coldness would go
A           Em                  D            A
It whistles and it whispers, and sometimes it howls,
A           G                   D            A
It sings to me sweetly from the trees and in vowels

A            Em           D               A
The line, it writes itself across the dark sky,
A      G                D             A
In the electric flushes ending with a sigh
A           Em         D         A
It weaves itself into a fabric so true
A      G                       D            A
and flows just like the river, graceful and blue
