Karaoke Track: On The Border by Al Stewart (Sunfly) - Karaoke Nerds

The fishing boats

90 out across the
evening water

The ghost moon sails
among the clouds

Turns the rifles into
silver on the border

On my wall the

colours of the maps
are running

From Africa the winds

they talk of
changes coming

The hand that sets
the farms alight has
spread the word to
those who're waiting
on the border

In the village where

I grew up nothing
seems the same

Still you never see

the change from
day to day

And no-one notices

the customs slip away

Late last night

the rain was knocking
at my window

I moved across

the darkened room
and in the lampglow

I thought I saw down
in the street the spirit
of the century telling us
that we're all standing
on the border

In the islands where

I grew up nothing
seems the same

But there's a

strangeness in the air
you feel too well

The fishing boats

90 out across the
evening water

Smuggling guns and

arms across the
Spanish border

The ghost moon sails
among the clouds

Turns the rifles into
silver on the border
