And you know it's time to goThrough the sleet and driving snowAcross the fields of mourning to a light that's in the distance.
And you hunger for the timeTime to heal, 'desire' timeAnd your earth moves beneath your own dream landscape.
On borderland we run.I'll be there, I'll be there tonightA high-road, a high-road out from here.
The city walls are all come downThe dust a smoke screen all aroundSee faces ploughed like fields that onceGave no resistance.
And we live by the side of the roadOn the side of a hill as the valleys explodeDislocated, suffocatedThe land grows weary of it's own.
O com-away, o com-away, o-com, o com-away, I say IO com-away, o com-away, o-com, o com-away, I say I
Oh, oh on borderland we runAnd still we run, we run and don't look backI'll be there, I'll be thereTonight, tonight
I'll be there tonight, I believeI'll be there so highI'll be there tonight, tonight.
Oh com-away, I say, o com-away, I say.
The wind will crack in winter timeThis bomb-blast lightning waltz.No spoken words, just a screamTonight we'll build a bridge across the sea and landSee the sky, the burning rainShe will die and live again tonight.
And your heart beats so slowThrough the rain and fallen snowAcross the fields of mourning to a light that's in the distance.Oh, don't sorrow, no don't weepFor tonight at last I am coming home.I am coming home.

One man come in the name of loveOne man come and go.One man come he to justifyOne man to overthrow.
In the name of loveWhat more in the name of love.In the name of loveWhat more in the name of love.
One man caught on a barbed wire fenceOne man he resistOne man washed up on an empty beachOne man betrayed with a kiss.
In the name of loveWhat more in the name of love.In the name of loveWhat more in the name of love.
Early morning, April fourShot rings out in the Memphis sky.Free at last, they took your lifeThey could not take your pride.
In the name of loveWhat more in the name of love.In the name of loveWhat more in the name of love.
In the name of loveWhat more in the name of love.In the name of loveWhat more in the name of love.

WireInnocent, and in a sense I amGuilty of the crime that's now in handSuch a nice dayThrow your life awaySuch a nice dayLet it go
Cold these eyes, I can't believe itCold, this heart is slowHeart is stone

Ice, your only rivers run cold.These city lights, they shine as silver and gold.Dug from the night, your eyes as black as coal.
Walk on by, walk on through.Walk till you run and don't look backFor here I am.
Carnival, the wheels fly and the colours spin through alcohol.Red wine that punctures the skin.Face to face in a dry and waterless place.
Walk on by, walk on through.So sad to besiege your love oh hang on.
Stay this time, stay tonight in a lie.I'm only asking, but I, I think you know.Come on take me away, come on take me awayCome on take me home, home again.
And if the mountains should crumbleOr disappear into the seaNot a tear, no not I.
Stay this time, stay tonight in a lie.Ever after is a long time.And if you save your love, save it all, save it allDon't push me too far, don't push me too far.Tonight, tonight.

Earth, sky, scenery.Is she coming back again?Men of straw, snooker hall.Words that build or destroyDirt dry, bone, sand and stone.Barbed wire fence cut me down.I'd like to be around in a spiral staircaseTo the higher ground.
And I, like a firework, and explode.Roman candle, lightning, lights up the sky.In cracked streets, trample underfoot.Side-step, sidewalk.I see you stare into space.Have I got closer now, behind the face?
Oh, tell me, tell me you'll dance with meTurn me around tonightUp through the spiral staircase to the higher ground.Slide show, seaside town.Coca-cola, football radio, radio, radio, radio, radio, radio.

If you twist and turn away,If you tear yourself in two again,If I could, yes I wouldIf I could, I would let it go.Surrender, dislocate.
If I could throw this lifeless life-line to the wind,Leave this heart of clay, see you walk, walk awayInto the night, and through the rainInto the half light and through the flame.
If I could, through myself, set your spirit freeI'd lead your heart away, see you break, break awayInto the light and to the day.
To let it go and so to fade away.To let it go and so fade away.I'm wide awake.I'm wide awake, wide awake.I'm not sleeping.
If you should ask, then maybeThey'd tell you what I would sayTrue colours fly in blue and blackBruised silken sky and burning flak.Colours crash, collide in blood-shot eyes.
If I could, you know I wouldIf I could, I would let it go.
This desperation, dislocationSeparation, condemnationRevelation, in temptationIsolation, desolationLet it go and so to fade awayTo let it go and so to fade awayTo let it go and so to fade away
I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake, wide awake,I'm not sleepingOh no, no, no.

In the ocean cuts ring deep, the sky.Like there, I don't know why.In the forest there's a clearingI run there towards the light.Sky, it's a blue sky.
In the earth the hole deep, deep, decide.If I could I would.Up for air to swim against the tide.Hey, hey, hey.Up towards the sky.It's a blue sky.
To lose along the way the spark that set the flameTo flicker and to fade on this the longest day.
So wind go through to my heart.So wind blow through my soul.So wind go through to my heart.So wind blow through my soul.So wind go through to my heart.
You give yourself to this the longest day.You give yourself, you give it all away.
Two rivers run too deep, the seasons change and so do I.The light that strikes the tallest trees the light away for I.The light away, up towards the sky.It's a blue sky.
To lose along the way the spark that set the flameTo flicker and to fade on this the longest day.
So wind go through to my heart.So wind blow through my soul.So wind go through to my heart.So wind blow through my soul.So wind go through my heart.So wind blow through my soul.So wind go through to my heart.
You give yourself to this the longest day.You give yourself, you give it all away.

Sleep, sleep tonightAnd may your dreams be realised.If the thunder cloud passes rainSo let it rain, rain down on he.So let it be.So let it be.
