Borderline by John Martin Doyle

We each have our border to cross

Lyrics:

Sometimes I just don't believe what I see
Oh, reality is closing in on me
Oh, reality is closing in on me

The poor get poorer and the rich get it free
Sometimes it don't make any sense to me
Sometimes it don't make any sense to me

But I've been close to that borderline so many times
And I've been close to that borderline so many times, I say
Many have boarded and they sailed away
But I remained on the shoreline and I'm telling you that
I've been close to that borderline so many times

Rain, it falls on a lonely man
Heartbreak deserts him then it comes again
Heartbreak deserts him then it comes again

On a smile, on a lie he abates his fears
But they circle over and they're always near
They circle over and they're always near

And I've been close to that borderline so many times
I've been close to that borderline so many times, I say
Many have boarded and they sailed away
But I remained on the shoreline and I'm telling you that
I've been close to that borderline so many times

I hope the day will finally be
When your heart can be set free
When your heart can be set free

When you feel all new and fine
Maybe you can unlock mine
Maybe you can unlock mine

And I've been close to that borderline so many times
I've been close to that borderline so many times, I say
Many have boarded and they sailed away
But I remained on the shoreline and I'm telling you that
I've been close to that borderline so many times
I said so many times, so many times
