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
