Lyrics - 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 talking my side, one of use 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...
