Borderline

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
