Bruce Springsteen - Across The Borderline текст песни

(ry cooder/john hiatt/jim dickinson)

Theres a place, so Ive been told,

Every street is paved with gold

And its just across the borderline

And when its time to take your turn

Theres a lesson that you must learn

You may lose more than youll ever hope to find.

(chorus)

And when you reach that broken promised land

And all your dreams slip though your hand

You have learned its too late to change your mind

Cause you pay the price to come so far

Just to wind up where you are

And youre still just across the borderline.

Up and down the rio grande

A thousand foot prints in the sand

Reveal a secret no one can define

The river rolls on like a breath

In between our life and death

Tell me who is next to cross that borderline.

(chorus)

And when you reach that broken promised land

And all your dreams slip though your hand

Youll know its too late to change your mind

Cause you pay the price to come so far

Just to wind up where you are

And youre still just across the borderline.
