Lyrics for The Border by Tony Banks:
| | | Artist: | Tony Banks |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | The Border | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 66 | | | | Lyrics: | Dry forever the sun blinds off the whitewashed walls
Unbelieving she looks up from the unswept
floor
You don't have to go you don't have to tell me
All that talk of lofty causes wrapped
in foolish pride
That's a lie
That you don't have to tell me
I don't wanna
hear how wisdom walks beside you
Or how God is inside you again
No wire marks the
border
No fence or wall
No town breaks this horizon
Nothing at all
Dust
surrounds her the men go hungry for disaster
All they leave behind are
The old and useless
and the broken
That never will be mended
I don't wanna hear you're captured by the
madness
Of ideas long discredited from other people's minds
They're all lies
That
you don't have to tell me
All that comes of this is poverty and hardship
Still you
don't absorb a word I say
But now there is a border
A line of blood
Now men patrol
the border
But they're dead
Somewhere a bird is flying oh
Somewhere the wind is
sighing oh
I hope it brings you comfort
Cos it's surely no good to me
This wind blows me
down
and cuts me like a knife
And now the darkness and coldness
That freezes out
illusion
Restores the picture gives back the pieces
And lays them on the empty
floor
I don't want to hear so you don't have to tell me
How you rewrite history a
little every day
Till it's lies
That you don't have to tell me
I don't want to
hear how good it really has been
How wonderful the troubles we shared
No I don't want
to hear so you don't have to tell me
I don't need your comfort I just need your company | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
