The Power Lines

Nobody seems to care about you With your tool case by the roadside There beneath the power lines Or the pallor of your skin Paled beneath fluorescent lights In a Greyhound station's cruel midnight Where you can't afford the ride Oh, the power lines They go from sea to sea They carry voices Love from him to me The power lines you fall beneath Are the rainbows you can't climb And you will not climb the power lines 'Cause you are lost beneath the power lines There's no place that you haven't been And no place that you call your home There's no place that you cannot go With the gift within your hands And the tools to build another's dream That connects them to the power lines You do not feel you need Oh, the power lines They go from sea to sea They carry voices Love from him to me The power lines you fall beneath Are the rainbows you can't climb And you will not climb the power lines 'Cause you are lost beneath the power lines Oh, the power lines They go from sea to sea They carry voices Love from him to me The power lines you fall beneath Are the rainbows you can't climb And you will not climb the power lines 'Cause you are lost beneath the power lines
