Near the border she walked past the wall
In her hands a small suitcase, that's all
And behind her she left everything that followed her down
Past the markets that sell souvenirs
Past the statues with painted on tears
And when the moon slipped behind a cloud
In her hand rang this call
"Though I've made up my mind" she said soft
"I can't go on feeling so lost."
"So tonight I am going to cross and begin a new life"
Across the border
Across the border
"This country once was a jewel"
"In a wilderness so wild and so cruel"
"But now no one can fix it"
"Everything's broken"
"So I am leaving tonight in this rain"
"And there is nothing can stop me, no chain"
"And least of all you"
"So don't call me again"
And she closed up her phone
She walked ahead slowly, her hands holding tight
A boy on the corner lost the string of his kite
And it flew past the red, white, and blue
And into the gold, red, and green
Across the border
Across the border
Near the border she walked past the wall
In her hands a small suitcase, that's all
And behind her she left everything that followed her down
Past the markets that sell souvenirs
Past the statues with painted on tears
And when the moon slipped behind a cloud
In her hand rang this call
She walked ahead slowly, her hands holding tight
A boy on the corner lost the string of his kite
And it flew past the red, white, and blue
And into the gold, red, and green
Across the border
Across the border
Across the border
Across the border
