Border of Love
©2002 Tom Bolton
All the boats on the river cast off yesterday
All the boats on the river sailing the other way
Sheltered in empty houses - searching the street
Waiting at the silent harbour - looks as though I'm the last to leave
And I'm stranded and disordered - aching to cross over
Shaking from hunger, chasing the wonder
Lost on the border of love
Driven out by the weather - drawn back by the tide
Driven out by the weather - no safe place to stay inside
Drift on the open water - can't find the shore
Floating out into the darkness - blinded to the heart I'm searching for
And I'm stranded and disordered - aching to cross over
Shaking from hunger, chasing the wonder
Lost on the border of love
All the visions that I followed only brought me to this empty place
I wander dazed and feeling hollow - searching for your eyes in every face
Waiting out on the edges - no will for the fight
Waiting out on the edges - staring through the failing light
Tangled in broken fences - can't trust the guide
Damaged by my own defences - break and run, there's nowhere left to hide
And I'm stranded and disordered - aching to cross over
Shaking from hunger, chasing the wonder
Lost on the border of love
