Riding Fences
[william livesay/david graham ©2011]

I think that I might lose you
If I ride this rail
There's no more indecision
It's my fault if I fail
It doesn't take a wise man
To know when something's right
It doesn't take a prophet
To know what's good in life
I'm not riding fences anymore
Life is full of trying
Oh this love there's no denying
It may take a little time
But that's what love is for
I'm not riding fences anymore
I recall the day we met
We laughed until we cried
You flattered me with things you said
Then gently kissed goodbye
But I wouldn't let you in
Afraid of what my heart would do
Some people make mistakes
I did when I left you
I'm not riding fences anymore
Life is full of trying
Oh this love there's no denying
It may take a little time
But that's what love is for
I'm not riding fences anymore
It doesn't take a broken heart
To know what love can do
Love can do most anything
That you want it to
But I know this… you’re in my life
You’re here for good or bad
It's time for me to reach out
I'm reaching out
To take this leap of faith
And ask you for your hand
I know what I've been missin'
Now I understand
I been there and I've seen the light
Girl we’re gonna climb that sky
Everything makes sense
And you're the reason why
I'm not riding fences anymore
Life is full of trying
Oh this love there's no denying
It may take a little time
But that's what love is for
I'm not riding fences
I'm not riding fences
I'm not riding fences anymore
