lyrics

I am not a painter, I am not a poet
I’m just dragging a line across a page
This pen I’m using given to me at my birth
I’ll use it the best I can and I’ll leave it when I go

And I’m drawing this long thin line
On and on and on and on and on
Yeah I keep on drawing this long thin line

All through the day, all through the night
Never let it leave the page
The ink keeps flowing all by itself
In rainbow colors or black as night

And I’m drawing this long thin line
On and on and on and on and on
I keep on drawing this long thin line
On and on and on through time
Yeah I keep on drawing this long thin line, this long thin line

When my line breaks at last I’ll put the pen down to rest
Stand back and take a look at the picture that I made
And when I feel the need I’ll take a new pen in hand
Open a brand-new page and start to draw again

And I’m drawing this long thin line
On and on and on and on and on
I keep on drawing this long thin line
On and on and on through time
I’m drawing this long thin line
On and on and on and on and on
Yeah I keep on drawing this long thin line, this long thin line
