lyrics

On A Border

It's been a long time since I came and left
The skin burning days are now down in the south
the wintertime poisons the land in defeat
and the cold breezes burn and foam at the mouth

(chorus)
She lives on a border down south
near Mexico's mountains where she can be free
she's found some new lovers
who roam the old gutters
she's broken new ground
dreamed some new dreams.

She came like a whisper and took me away
breathless I followed and ran to the edge
but the edge was not there for me to trip over
and the kindness of lovers somehow came and went.

(chorus x2)

Now I must find a new candlelight girl
to give me the pride that made me a man
now I'm a boy who questions the darkness
gets beaten by boredom and never fights back

(chorus)
