Tonight I Cross the Border

[Verse 1] Come sing a melody, 'cause tonight, I cross the border There's no work here for us, so tonight, I cross the border [Verse 2] Come sit and drink with me, and we'll toast to the old days Walk down the darkened streets, to the old and empty plaza [Verse 3] There's no-one left at home, 'cept the old, the widows and the Traficantes The tourists have all gone home, and the priests have abandoned their stations [Verse 4] So please keep my children safe, and away from harm Pray to the saints that I make it home to see my family [Verse 5] Come sing me a melody, 'cause tonight I cross the border There's nothing here for us, so tonight I cross the border
