Big Country - Over The Border lyrics

Big Country - Over The Border

I was holed up out in Denver in the snow

Some sense of adventure left but nowhere else to go

On an endless highway

Howlin' in my room

Howlin' in my ear

Howlin' in my soul

I stayed up all night to watch a new sunrise

Lit up the Rocky Mountains, and I realized

You never really leave home

You can run

But you never lose the world that you are from

Over the border we must cross

Over the walls and damn the cost

Over the border for our sins

With the spirit of the people who light a fire in the wind

Crossed the backbone of the continent

Down to the ocean's moan

Gave myself up to its healing

Felt like I had always known

You can run

But you never lose the world that you are from

Over the border we must cross

Over the walls and damn the cost

Over the border for our sins

With the spirit of the people who light a fire in the wind

You can run

But you never lose the world that you are from

Over the border we must cross

Over the walls and damn the cost

Over the border for our sins

With the spirit of the people who light a fire in the wind

You can run

But you never lose the world that you are from

Find the ridge that we could cross

Find the love that we had lost

Count the lives and clean the cause

With the spirit of the people who light a fire in the wind
