Collier, Jacob - Down The Line Lyrics






I was walking down the line
Trying to find some peace of mind
Then I saw you
You were takin' it slow, and walkin' it one step at a time

You said, "Listen, stranger
I'm feeling low now
I don't know which way to go"
I said, "If you're lost now
Maybe I could help you along and sing you a song
And move you on"

Singing down the line
Where shall we go?
Where shall we go?
Down the line
Where shall we go?

She said
"I'm looking for a kind of shelter
No place for me to call my own
I've been walking all night long, but
I don't know where to call my home"

"The only way to find that place is
Close to where my heart is
I know I'm gonna get there
But I've got to keep on walking down the line"
Down the line, yeah, say

Oh
Where shall we go?
Where shall we go?
Where shall we go?

She said
"Estoy buscando un lugar tranquilo
Un lugar que sea mío
Lo he estado buscado toda la noche
Pero no sé dónde se encuentra"

"The only way to find that place is
Close to where my heart is
Maybe I'm never gonna get there
But I've got to keep on walking down the line"

Got to keep on walking down the line
Got to keep on walking down the line

I said "You go on walking
Down the line
Wasting all your
Precious time
But you're never gonna find it
Because there is no end to the line
There's no destination for to find"
(There's no destination, baby)

"But if you get there
Don't forget me
Cause I'm the one who
Set you free
But don't come calling
'Cause I won't wanna call you a friend
So, this is end of you and me
Say, I won't wanna call you a friend
So, this is end of you and me
No, I won't wanna call you a friend
So, this is end of you and me"

    Its like the love child of Aphex Twin and Marvin Gaye spending a vacation in the Congo and New Orleans AT THE SAME TIME.

    a.... ....

    appelelle brilliant lol

  52. A.... S....

    Wow. Your piano solo is incredible. I'm having a difficult time figuring out which is your primary instrument. Brilliant musicianship Jacob!

    A.... S....

    he plays the music in his head, the instrument he chooses to materialize it is almost meaningless :D

    A.... S....

    He studied piano at conservatory, but prefers singing

    A.... S....

    Andrew Scheldt he says his room is his primary instrument

    A.... S....

    Ethan Maruyama legend has it he can make a doorknob sound good

  53. l.... ....

    Awesome and then some !!!

  54. T.... T....

    I love how every piece of music he writes is really an album or 2 worth of musical concepts, and they all work so well together.

  55. M.... T....

    I've finally done it. This is it. I've found the absolute perfect music for me. Thank you, Jacob.

  56. D.... d....

    I came for the patterns and stayed for the patterns
    oh and the music

  57. J.... R....

    3:11-3:22 that base is crazyy

  58. B.... S....

    Milton Nascimento meets Bruce Hornsby!

  59. A.... M....

    harmony at 2.58 blow my mind everytime

  60. D.... M....

    is this an original song? its brilliant!

    D.... M....

    Stevie Wonder classic ... and I am sure Stevie loves this arrangement !

    D.... M....

    This is most assuredly not a Stevie Wonder classic, though I wouldn't be surprised if he digs the tune.

  61. D.... N....

    So good! I love the intricate textures and colors.

  62. K.... K....

    I will certainly have no dearth of mind-boggling music when I'm old and close to dying.

    *bows*

  63. M.... T....

    Wonderful half time drop for the chorus. I do get a Zawinul vibe from this and Hajanga. But musically you are you're own man.

  64. V.... ....

    estoy buscando un lugar tranquilo
    un lugar que sea mio
    lo he estado buscando toda la noche
    pero no se donde se encuentra

  74. M.... P....

    The ending resonated with me. I recently had to cut ties with a really good friend of mine. Great song!

  75. M.... M....

    Your music is challenging & beautiful! Good Work Jacob!!!

  76. R.... S....

    The more I discover, the more I fear there's just too much there for me to take. Masterpiece after masterpiece.
