The Border Guard

She gave me a heart in a woman's hand

Carved in cherry-wood

The severed part from a foreign land

I clearly understoodLove has a border and I can't cross over

Love has a border and a right and a wrong

Love has a border, some kind of an order

Beyond that border I don't belongI sleep all day and dream all night

Prowling up the coast

I have my way when the moon is bright

I'm howling like a ghostLove has a border and I can't cross over

Love has a border and a right and a wrong

Love has a border, some kind of an order

Beyond that border I don't belongI ain't going to heaven now

'Cause I learned too many tricks

I just wanna get over this wall

How come I sit here making bricks

And mold her, guarding the borderSo I keep that hand like a secret wife

A coin I never spent

Far away there's a place in life

I never really wentLove has a border, I can't cross over

Love has a border and a right and a wrong

Love has a border, some kind of an order

Beyond that border I don't belongGuarding the border
