Paul Young - Across the borderline

There's a place that I've been told Every street is paved with gold And it's just across the borderline When it's time to take your turn There's a lesson you must learn You can lose more that you ever hope to find And when you reach the broken promised land Every dream slips through your hand Then you'll know that it's too late To change your mind 'Cause you pay the price to come this far Just to wind up where you are And you're still just across the borderline Up and down the Rio Grande A thousand footprints in the sand They reveal the secrets no one can define The river flows on like a breath In between our life and death Tell me who's the next to cross the borderline And when you reach the broken promised land Every dream slips through your hand And you'll lose more than you'll ever hope to find 'Cause you pay the price to come this far Just to wind up where you are And you're still just across the borderline
