lyrics

t was early evening, I caught myself, just out of Charlotte Town,
Pulled off the road to rest before sleep took ahold
As I started dreaming I felt the exhaustion as you finally slow down
I’ve been running all ways, but never in the race till I let that last dice go
The last dice go, for when you need a nine to tie
Its all sixes and twos, which is never much use this time

And peace won’t calm this mind
There’s something in the air keeps dragging me back, to a place I left far behind
And you’ll be waiting there
Exist in this place for all of the time that I’ve been away out there

The sound of a door slamming shut pulled me from my endless dream
Two men in tweed suits, with flashlights and boots, began to approach me
I said I was moving but I just stopped back there on the way
They said, get back on the road and just go back to from where you came
From where you came, and I said don’t push me around
For I’m doing no harm but this air of calm is quick to run out

And I’m sure our time is close
If I could just get back to when it was that you and I took on the world
Let the rain all winds blow
From north to south and take me to all the corners of the world


From border hills, from border hills
From border hills, I’m running still
