All the time that you were on your own
I didn't know you were crying
All the people who brought you down
The love you

All the times you didn't come home
I knew you were trying
They said they'd never leave you alone
They love you

You're too young to take the strain
In a circle around again
In a game that can't be won
South of the border and west to the sun
South of the border west to the sea
Try the lock you've got the key
Swimming in silver you'll be swimming in gold
South of the border and out of the cold

The past is something you can't touch
But you can see
What you got back it ain't that much
They love you

All the time that you were on your own
I didn't know you were crying
All the people who brought you down
The love you

You're too young to take the strain
In a circle around again
In a game that can't be won
South of the border and west to the sun
South of the border west to the sea
Try the lock you've got the key
Swimming in silver you'll be swimming in gold
South of the border and out of the cold
