Cross The 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.
There ain't nothin' in the world
That can take away my memories
Of my travels through the great northwestern
Mountain scenery
With my woman by my side
With her lips like cherry wine
She kissed me, said she loved me
As we crossed the borderline.
CHORUS
Don't you fly away woman of mine
Don't you fade away; don't you be that kind
Don't you fly away woman of mine
Tell me that you love me
As we crossed the borderline.
If you're ever in Alaska,
Take a message to my friend
That the glamour of the city life
Is as empty as the wind
It'll steal away love's joy;
It'll drive a heart stone blind
Makes a cold Alaskan winter
Seem like something warm and fine.
Repeat Chorus
Oh, tell me how you love me as we cross that borderline
