Lyrics
[Verse 1]
And you know it's time to go
Through the sleet and driving snow
Across the fields of morning, lights in the distance
[Verse 2]
And you hunger for the time
Time to heal, desire time
And your earth moves beneath
Your own dream landscape
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, on borderland, we run
I'll be there, I'll be there tonight
A high road, a high road out from here
[Verse 3]
The city walls are all come down
The dust a smoke screen all around
See faces ploughed like fields that once
Gave no resistance
[Verse 4]
And we live by the side of the road
On the side of a hill, as the valleys explode
Dislocated, suffocated, the land grows weary of its own
[Bridge]
Oh, come away, oh, come
Oh, come away, I say I
Oh, come away, oh come away, oh come
Oh, come away, I say I
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, on borderland, we run
And still, we run
We run and don't look back
I'll be there, I'll be there tonight
Tonight
[Bridge]
I'll be there tonight
I believe, I'll be there, somehow
I'll be there tonight
Tonight
[Bridge]
Oh, come away, and I say, I say
Oh, come away, oh, I say
[Verse 5]
The wind will crack
In wintertime
This bomb-blast lightning waltz
No spoken words, just a scream
[Verse 6]
Oh, oh, tonight
We'll build a bridge
Across the sea and land
See the sky, the burning rain
She will die and live again tonight
[Verse 7]
And your heart beats so slow
Through the rain and fallen snow
Across the fields of mourning, lights in the distance
Oh, don't sorrow, no, don't weep
For tonight, at last, I am coming home
I am coming home
