The Border Lyrics - Tony Banks

Dry forever the sun blinds off the whitewashed walls 

Unbelieving she looks up from the unswept floor 

You don't have to go you don't have to tell me 

All that talk of lofty causes wrapped in foolish pride 

That's a lie 

That you don't have to tell me 

I don't wanna hear how wisdom walks beside you 

Or how God is inside you again 

No wire marks the border 

No fence or wall 

No town breaks this horizon 

Nothing at all 

Dust surrounds her the men go hungry for disaster 

All they leave behind are 

The old and useless and the broken 

That never will be mended

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

I don't wanna hear you're captured by the madness 

Of ideas long discredited from other people's minds 

They're all lies 

That you don't have to tell me 

All that comes of this is poverty and hardship 

Still you don't absorb a word I say 

But now there is a border 

A line of blood 

Now men patrol the border 

But they're dead 

Somewhere a bird is flying oh 

Somewhere the wind is sighing oh 

I hope it brings you comfort 

Cos it's surely no good to me 

This wind blows me down 

And cuts me like a knife 

Photos 

And now the darkness and coldness 

That freezes out illusion 

Restores the picture gives back the pieces 

And lays them on the empty floor 

I don't want to hear so you don't have to tell me 

How you rewrite history a little every day 

Till it's lies 

That you don't have to tell me 

I don't want to hear how good it really has been 

How wonderful the troubles we shared 

No I don't want to hear so you don't have to tell me 

I don't need your comfort I just need your company
