On the Line
Style: Soul waltz

[Verse 1]
Two cotton cases catch the breeze
They twist together, glad to tease
One wire holds them, side by side
That's how I feel when you're close by

[Pre-chorus]
I don't need silk or fancy things
Just plain white cotton, ordinary strings
Something steady, pulling me toward you

[Chorus]
Patricia, you're the calm I choose
No wind can pull loose what we don't lose
Patricia, twist your hand in mine
We hang together, glad to shine

[Verse 2]
The sheets get tangled in the storm
They knot up tighter, keeping warm
I watched them dance there, wild and free
And thought of how you dance with me

[Pre-chorus]
I don't need silk or fancy things
Just plain white cotton, ordinary strings
Something steady, pulling me toward you

[Chorus]
Patricia, you're the calm I choose
No wind can pull loose what we don't lose
Patricia, twist your hand in mine
We hang together, glad to shine

[Bridge]
Some loves need the perfect weather
We just need the wire together
Plain as cotton, sure as thread

[Chorus]
Patricia, you're the calm I choose
No wind can pull loose what we don't lose
Patricia, twist your hand in mine
We hang together, glad to shine

[Outro]
Let the wind come take its turn
Two lines twisted, still we'll hold
