I remember the very first time
The flame in your eyes leapt into mine
Moving down my body you drew
A very fine line
Fine line
Going out for the evening with you
In search of a rhyme
We ran into a poet who knew
A very fine line
Fine line
Fine line
Fine line
Fine line
(Solo)
Waking up to the sound of the rain
Taking our time
Our blanket was wet so we hung it to dry
On a very fine line
Fine line
Fine line
Fine line
Fine line

Notes: Played in Standard tuning, Fine Line came about when I was jamming on two chords I used to play with my old friend Larry Dunlap from a song he wrote called The First Day He Came To Town. At one of our potluck jams I ran the chords past sax player Paul Carman. But, instead of playing them with slow arpegiated finger-picking (like Larry and I used to play them) I played a fast, strumming groove. That seemed to work nicely with the sax, so it became the basis for the intro section.
The rest of the song is kind of a Beatle-ish descending pattern with a similarly Beatle-type melody and lyrics based around a fantasy evening with a beautiful woman that I have a strong attraction with. I imagined going out for a fun evening, getting caught in a rain storm, and sleeping together in an old, dilapidated barn somewhere.
