《On The Border》歌词

[00:00:00] On the Border - Al Stewart

[00:00:31] The fishing boats go out across the evening water

[00:00:35] Smuggling guns and arms across the Spanish border

[00:00:40] The wind whips up the waves so loud

[00:00:43] The ghost moon sails among the clouds

[00:00:45] And turns the rifles into silver on the border

[00:00:58] On my wall the colors of the maps are running

[00:01:02] From Africa the winds they talk of changes coming

[00:01:07] The torches flare up in the night

[00:01:09] The hand that sets the farms alight

[00:01:12] Has spread the word to those who're waiting on the border

[00:01:20] In the village where I grew up

[00:01:22] Nothing seems the same

[00:01:24] Still you never see the change from day to day

[00:01:29] No one notices the customs slip away

[00:01:47] Late last night the rain was knocking on my window

[00:01:51] I moved across the darkened room and in the lamp-glow

[00:01:56] I thought I saw down in the street

[00:01:58] The spirit of the century

[00:02:01] Telling us that we're all standing on the border

[00:02:08] In the islands where I grew up

[00:02:11] Nothing seems the same

[00:02:13] It's just the patterns that remain an empty shell

[00:02:17] But there's a strangeness in the air you feel too well

[00:02:35] The fishing boats go out across the evening water

[00:02:39] Smuggling guns and arms across the Spanish border

[00:02:44] The wind whips up the waves so loud

[00:02:47] The ghost moon sails among the clouds

[00:02:49] And turns the rifles into silver on the border

[00:02:57] On the border

[00:03:01] On the border

[00:03:06] On the border
