Cross That Line

Uriah Heep


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's always been a mystery 
Locked behind the door 
Tell me is it 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 tought 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
