On the Border - Al Stewart[00:00:00]

The fishing boats go out across the evening water[00:00:31]

Smuggling guns and arms across the Spanish border[00:00:35]

The wind whips up the waves so loud[00:00:40]

The ghost moon sails among the clouds[00:00:43]

And turns the rifles into silver on the border[00:00:45]

On my wall the colors of the maps are running[00:00:58]

From Africa the winds they talk of changes coming[00:01:02]

The torches flare up in the night[00:01:07]

The hand that sets the farms alight[00:01:09]

Has spread the word to those who're waiting on the border[00:01:12]

In the village where I grew up[00:01:20]

Nothing seems the same[00:01:22]

Still you never see the change from day to day[00:01:24]

No one notices the customs slip away[00:01:29]

Late last night the rain was knocking on my window[00:01:47]

I moved across the darkened room and in the lamp-glow[00:01:51]

I thought I saw down in the street[00:01:56]

The spirit of the century[00:01:58]

Telling us that we're all standing on the border[00:02:01]

In the islands where I grew up[00:02:08]

Nothing seems the same[00:02:11]

It's just the patterns that remain an empty shell[00:02:13]

But there's a strangeness in the air you feel too well[00:02:17]

The fishing boats go out across the evening water[00:02:35]

Smuggling guns and arms across the Spanish border[00:02:39]

The wind whips up the waves so loud[00:02:44]

The ghost moon sails among the clouds[00:02:47]

And turns the rifles into silver on the border[00:02:49]

On the border[00:02:57]

On the border[00:03:01]

On the border[00:03:06]
