Across the Border

Across the Border by Bruce Springsteen

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 ‘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 grey and white

We’ll meet on the other side

There across the border

For you I’ll build a house

High up on a grassy hill

Somewhere across the border

Where pain and memory

Pain and memory have been stilled

There across the border

And sweet blossoms fills the air

Pastures of gold and green

Roll down into cool clear waters

And in your arms ‘neath the open skies

I’ll kiss the sorrow from your eyes

There across the border

Tonight we’ll sing the songs

I’ll dream of you my corazon

And tomorrow my heart will be strong

And may the saints’ blessing 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
