"On The Borderline" lyrics

There's a chill on this evening, the night's right for grieving
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 taut. His whiskey throat was barely marred
Seeking 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 woman'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 show

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
