uriah heep - cross that line lyrics

what do you say to a talk over dinner
though we haven't spoken for a while
this time i won't take no for an answer
you can't hide forever
from your only son
let's take a seat
right here by the window
i remember how you like the view
now look me in the eye
the truth i wanna hear

the time is right
there's a shadow hanging
over me tonight

tell me what you did now
even though it hurts to say it
it's always been a mystery
locked behind the door
tell me if it's true now
do you need the heart to say it
i always did my best for you
don't you lie
don't you lie no more

you taught me the way
to be a winner
and never to play
on the losing side
i guess that i turned out
the way you always planned

so hard, to cross that line
but the words have got to come
from you this time
