Maya Avgar- Fine Line

I open every Saturday with the wonderful blog "Oneg Shabbat" and I've become pretty addicted. It's much more than a music blog and could even be seen as a mini community-each week features an eclectic collection of articles/sites/new music from Israel and around the world and I love having conversations with friends on items we found out about through the site. Usually I'm a bit overwhelmed by the 30+ links all at once and it's easy to overlook some gems and forget about them. But when I heard this song I stopped everything and heard it all the way through (not an easy feat when browsing the Oneg!). It perfectly matched my mood and I could relate very easily to the lyrics. Reminds me why I love folk music so much. Maya was featured in the stylish Tel-Avivian music blog pearls and you can check out her site here.

Don't ask me to stay here
I've already made up my mind
It's perfectly clear
There's no place here for my kind
There's no room for feelings
No room for my sorrow or pain
There's no use in taling
I can't find the words to explain

Cause it's a very fine line that I walk on every day
It's a very fine line that I walk on every day

The walls that surround me
Are tumbling down day by day
The ceiling above me
Is threatening to fall as I lay
There's no room for pleasure
No room for my laughter or smiles
Don't ask me to tell you
I'll only be telling you lies

Cause it's a very fine line that I walk on every day
It's a very fine line that I walk on every day

Don't ask me to stop it
It's already out of my hands
You think I can fight it
I would if I could but I can't
I can't seem to shake it
To shake it away from my soul
I know when it's coming
I know when I'm going to fall

Cause it's a very fine line that I walk on every day
It's a very fine line that I walk on every day
