|
There's a chill on this evening, nights right for greaving,
|
F C G
|
Darkness surrounds him as he wanders alone
|
C G
|
He walked past the dim lights, the pathways and street lights
|
F Dm F G C
|
They remind him, of nights long ago,
|
C G
|
When his love was strong and his muscles hard, His whiskey throat was barley marred,
|
F C G C
|
Seeking misfortune in the lies that he told, Then a brokin heart bought him to his knees,
|
G F Dm F G C
|
In the hour of his greatest need, Lost and forsaken by the love, he could not hold
|
|
Chorus Em F G C Em Am
|
On the Border line of love again, Its bound to make you pay
|
Em F G C F G C
|
On the Border line, we'll make our stand, Then watch it fall ~~ away
|
|
Inst.
|
|
And he stands in quiet solitude, The nights reflects upon his mood,
|
Seeking the vision that had once been so clear, When he felt the touch of his women's love
|
His pounding heart was warm and young, Now locked inside him with his anger and fear
|
|
As he moves on slowly, past the trees, Down the path way home through fallen leaves
|
He can't believe, how he'd sunken so low, So he learned to live with his injured pride
|
His purple heart hidden, deep inside, The only reward, for a love he could not hold
|
|
Chorus
