Across the Border

[Verse 1]

Tonight, my bag is packed, tomorrow I'll walk these tracks

That will lead me across the border

Tomorrow, my love and I will sleep beneath auburn skies

Somewhere across the border

[Verse 2]

We'll leave behind, my dear, the pain and sadness we found here

And we'll drink from the Bravo's muddy waters

Where the sky grows gray and wide, we'll meet on the other side

There across the border

[Verse 3]

For you, I'll build a house high upon a grassy hill

Somewhere across the border

Where pain and memory, pain and memory have been stilled

There across the border

[Verse 4]

Sweet blossoms fill the air, pastures of gold and green

Roll down into cool, clear waters

And in your arms 'neath open skies, I'll kiss the sorrow from your eyes

There across the border

[Bridge]

Tonight we'll sing the songs and I'll dream of you, my corazón

And tomorrow my heart will be strong

May the saints' blessings and grace carry me safely into your arms

There across the border

[Verse 5]

For what are we without hope in our hearts

That someday we'll drink from God's blessed waters?

And eat the fruit from the vine, I know love and fortune will be mine

Somewhere across the border
