Across the Border

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

That'll lead me across the border

Tomorrow my love and I will sleep 'neath auburn skies

Somewhere across the border

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 other side

There across the border

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

And 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

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

And tomorrow my heart will be strong

And may the saint's blessings and grace carry me safely into your arms

There across the border

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
