Across the Border Songtext
von Bruce Springsteen

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
Pain and sadness we've found here
And we′ll drink from 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 upon a greasy hill
Somewhere across the border
Where pain and memory
Pain and memory have been stilled
There across the border

Sweet blossoms fill the air
Pastures of gold and green
Roll down into cool and 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 good soul
And tomorrow my heart will be strong
And may the saints' blessings and grace
Carry me safely to 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
