Borderline
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I`m standing in the station
I am waiting for a train
To take me to the border
And my loved one far away
I watched a bunch of soldiers heading for the war
I could hardly even bear to see them go
Rolling through the countryside
Tears are in my eyes
We`re coming to the borderline
I`m ready with my lies
And in the early morning rain, I see her there
And I know I`ll have to say goodbye again
And it`s breaking my heart, I know what I must do
I hear my country call me but I want to be with you
I`m taking my side, one of us will lose
Don`t let go, I want to know
That you will wait for me until the day,
There`s no borderline
Walking past the border guards
Reaching for her hand
Showing no emotion
I want to break into a run
But these are only boys, and I will never know
How men can see the wisdom in a war ....
And it`s breaking my heart, I know what I must do
I hear my country call me, but I want to be with you
I`m taking my side, one of us will loose,
Don`t let go, I want to know
That you will wait for me until the day,
There`s no borderline, no borderline
No borderline ,......
