On The Borderline Lyrics - Too Late To Cry - Alison Krauss

(John Pennell) 

There's a chill on this evening nights right for greaving 

Darkness surrounds him as he wanders alone 

He walked past the dim lights the pathways and street lights 

They remind him of nights long ago. 

When his love was strong 

And his muscles hard 

His whiskey throat 

Was barley marred. 

Seeking the misfortune in the lies that he told 

Then a broken heart bought him to his knees 

In the hour of his greatest need 

Lost and forsaken by the love he could not hold.

On the borderline of love again 

It's bound to make you pay 

On the borderline we'll make our stand 

Then watch it fall away. 

And he stands in quiet solitude the nights reflects upon his mood 

Seeking the vision that had once been so clear 

When he felt the touch of his women's love 

His pounding heart was warm and young. 

Now locked inside him with his anger and fear 

As he moves on slowly past the trees 

Down the path way 

Home through fallen leaves. 

He can't believe how he'd sunken so low 

So he learned to live with his injured pride 

His purple heart hidden deep inside 

The only reward for a love he could not hold. 

On the borderline of love again 

It's bound to make you pay 

On the borderline we'll make our stand 

Then watch it fall away. 

On the borderline of love again 

It's bound to make you pay 

On the borderline we'll make our stand 

Then watch it fall away...
