I'm standing in the station, I am waiting for a train, To take me to the border, And my loved one far away; I watched a bunch of soldiers heading for the war, I could hardly even bear to see them go;
Rolling through the countryside, Tears are in my eyes, We're coming to the borderline, I'm ready with my lies, And in the early morning rain, I see her there, And I know I'll have to say goodbye again;
And it's breaking my heart, I know what I must do, I hear my country call me, but I want to be with you, I'm talking my side, one of use will lose, Don't let go, I want to know That you will wait for me until the day, There's no borderline, no borderline;
Walking past the border guards, Reaching for her hand, Showing no emotion, I want to break into a run, But these are only boys, and I will never know How men can see the wisdom in a war...
And it's breaking my heart, I know what I must do, I hear my country call me, but I want to be with you, I'm taking my side, one of us will lose, Don't let go, I want to know
