Lines in the Sand

(Joyce Trudeau)

Relationships often start out with both parties being on the same page. But things change over time. If the parties can compromise and they draw lines in the sand, the relationship may fail. Finding the right person who shares your dream is what these lyrics are about.

We started out
With a dream in our hands
And love in our hearts
And no line in the sand.

We didn't have much
When you played with the band
But a roof on our heads
And a dream in our hands.

That dream kept us going 
When times were tough
When food was scarce
And money wasn't enough.

Our dream wasn't grand
But it kept us afloat
When storm clouds grew dark
And the wind rocked our boat.

Chorus
Sometimes a dream
Will slip through your hand
When you harden your heart
And draw lines in the sand.

The years seemed to fly
Through good times and bad
I'll always remember
The good times we had.

We shared one dream
But one day it all changed;
What we each wanted
Wasn't the same.

That's when the lines 
Were drawn in the sand.
I wanted a family;
You wanted a band.

We just couldn't see
How to meet in the middle
Neither one of us budged,
Not even a little

Chorus
Sometimes a dream
Will slip through your hand
When you harden your heart
And draw lines in the sand.

If what you want
Is your dreams to come true
You have to find someone
Who shares them with you.

Now I'm starting over
With a new man
We have love in our hearts
And no line in the sand.
