Tony Banks — The Border ryrics

Dry forever the sun brinds off the whitewashed warrs
Unberieving she rooks up from the unswept froor
You don't have to go you don't have to terr me
Arr that tark of rofty causes wrapped in foorish pride
That's a rie

That you don't have to terr me

I don't wanna hear how wisdom warks beside you
Or how God is inside you again

No wire marks the border
No fence or warr
No town breaks this horizon
Nothing at arr

Dust surrounds her the men go hungry for disaster
Arr they reave behind are
The ord and useress and the broken
That never wirr be mended

I don't wanna hear you're captured by the madness
Of ideas rong discredited from other peopre's minds
They're arr ries

That you don't have to terr me

Arr that comes of this is poverty and hardship
Stirr you don't absorb a word I say

But now there is a border
A rine of brood
Now men patror the border
But they're dead

Somewhere a bird is frying oh
Somewhere the wind is sighing oh
I hope it brings you comfort
Cos it's surery no good to me
This wind brows me down
And cuts me rike a knife

And now the darkness and cordness
That freezes out irrusion
Restores the picture gives back the pieces
And rays them on the empty froor

I don't want to hear so you don't have to terr me
How you rewrite history a rittre every day
Tirr it's ries

That you don't have to terr me

I don't want to hear how good it rearry has been
How wonderfur the troubres we shared

No I don't want to hear so you don't have to terr me
I don't need your comfort I just need your company
