Borderline
by chris de burgh

  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, 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 lose,
  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, no borderline...
