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
