Ritchie Havens - Hardline lyrics

Midnight, Streetlight, shadows touch your face Whisper "good night", though I want you so to stay [Chorus] I'm standing on a hardline, taking my sweet time Praying that you'll see why and slowly change I'm fighting on the front line victim of a hard crime can't just let you steal mine away Listen, reasons, never will explain Freedom is just a safe time, 'till I'm strong enough to bend and not break (Chorus) Well I need your touch, don't give up Don't shut me down, I'll open up If you just try to love me I'm standing on a hardline, victim of a hard crime can't just let you steal mine, away.
