Border Song Lyrics

I told you then that I would come

But I'm still stuck at the border

You give your heart to everyone

But you're only following orders

The lights are on - there's no one home

I'm wilting like a flower

And I never thought I'd be alone

At such an awful hour

Across the land the lover's curse

Has blessed all of these people

Here's the hand and here's the church

But there's no one in the steeple

Beneath the bed I wrote your name

And tried to find our purpose

But the ones who said they'd share the blame

They were only here to hurt us

And I know you tried and I know you'll say

That none of this is surprising

You've still got all you gave away

But I lost what I was hiding

I only wish I'd been around

To cherish every minute

But I searched for years and all I found

Your heart was never in it

At all
