On The Border (LP版) - Al Stewart[00:00:00]
Written by:Al Stewart[00:00:02]
The fishing boats go out[00:00:29]
Across the evening water[00:00:31]
Smuggling guns and arms[00:00:34]
Across the spanish border[00:00:36]
The wind whips up the waves so loud[00:00:39]
The ghost moon sails among the clouds[00:00:42]
Turns the rifles into silver on the border[00:00:44]
On my wall the colours of[00:00:57]
The maps are running[00:00:59]
From africa the winds[00:01:02]
They talk of changes coming[00:01:03]
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[00:01:11]
Those who're waiting on the[00:01:13]
Border[00:01:15]
In the village where I grew up[00:01:19]
Nothing seems the same[00:01:22]
Still you never see[00:01:23]
The change from day to day[00:01:25]
No one notices[00:01:28]
The customs slip away[00:01:30]
Late last night the rain was[00:01:46]
Knocking at my window[00:01:48]
I moved across the darkened[00:01:51]
Room and in the lampglow[00:01:53]
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[00:02:01]
Standing on the border[00:02:02]
In the islands where I grew up[00:02:08]
Nothing seems the same[00:02:10]
It's just the patterns that remain[00:02:12]
An empty shell[00:02:15]
There's a strangeness in[00:02:17]
The air you feel too[00:02:19]
Well[00:02:20]
The fishing boats go out[00:02:35]
Across the evening water[00:02:37]
Smuggling guns and arms[00:02:40]
Across the spanish border[00:02:41]
The wind whips up the waves so loud[00:02:44]
The ghost moon sails among the clouds[00:02:47]
Turns the rifles into silver on the border[00:02:49]
On the border[00:02:57]
On the border[00:03:02]
On the border[00:03:07]
