Letra Borderline Alison Krauss & Union Station

Borderline

Borderline, Sidney Cox & Suzanne Cox, recorded by AKUS on Lonely Runs Both Ways, 2004

So you’re on your own lookin’ down the road
that goes only by one way
and you don’t need the signs to see lonely still runs both ways

So who’s the fool that would think the ties would be better off undone
Did your heart even warn you when you veered from the path
that was narrower and straight

On the borderline somewhere between the flight for freedom
feeling like you can’t move on
The chore will be the time
takes you off of my mind and out of my heart I know
And when you cross over there’s no turning back once that burning bridge is gone

I may lose but I’m in it for the long run
Loving you for good reason could be the wrong one
I don’t wanna lose control but the heart won’t learn
to let it well enough for long

On the borderline somewhere between the flight for freedom
feeling like you can’t move on
The chore will be the time
takes you off of my mind and out my heart I know
And when you cross over there’s no turning back once that burning bridge is gone

So you’re on your own lookin’ down the road
that goes only by one way
