Borderland

Back to back we faced them down
side by side we stood our ground
underneath an empty sky
we kept the burning sunlight from our eyes

We lived a life in the borderland
holding it together with our four strong hands
we made shelter where none was found
dragged a life from the stony ground

(Ch): It's too late to call you back
you disappeared down a one way track
you fought your battle and you played your hand
and you left me here in the borderland

Here I am in the borderland
holding my head in my two strong hands
underneath a too big sky
with a road that's long and no place to hide
I walk a path through the cinder plain
the echo of my voice still calls your name
a million thoughts through my too strong mind
I'm rockin here on the edge of the borderline

(Ch)

All this happened so long ago
does it really matter I don't know
I want to get a message to you make you understand
that I'm still living in the borderland
Yes I'm still alive and well here in the borderland

(Ch)
