Songtexte We Two - Down On The Border - Little River Band

All alone, on my own
Since I walked out on you, I walked out on me, now it's gone
And you, what to do now?
There's so much time, and so many nights to get through
Oh, why do we play, and why do we lose?
It's a crazy life we live, we two

We are fools
We make all these rules
We make it so hard to find love, to feel free, to be fresh out of school
And now, what of romance?
Do we know that life is sweeter when we're taking a chance?
Oh, so why do we run, and why do we hide?
It's a dangerous life we live, you and I

Carousels and wishing wells were the things we loved
To fly away in a big balloon was what she talked of, oh

I just got back from the border
And what I saw made me know for sure we're out of order
I had a dream about New Orleans
In Jackson Square, I heard a prayer down to New Orleans

On the run, there's a life for livin'
But the people there, they just don't care
They're livin' their life's like a millionaire down on the border

You'll never see me in old Iran
The women there don't know who I am in old Iran
And I never will go to Singapore
The people there will cut your hair down in Singapore

On their streets, there's a life of plenty
But they'll never know about the freedom show
They're livin' in darkness years ago
On the border

Down on the border
Down on the border
Down on the border
Down on the border
Down on the border
Down on the border
Yeah, yeah
