Border Blaster |
I left in the dead of the new moon’s veil |
I clung to the side of the camouflaged trail |
I was over the river before the sky was awake |
I kept my ear pressed to the transistor radio |
This station was all I had left from my little home |
I don’t want to leave but this sorrow was all I could take |
A static-y voice through the crackling speaker |
Has followed me all the way here |
The longer I go, we both will get weaker |
Till one of us just disappears |
I don’t want to go but my duty is stronger than fear |
I worked 20 years without nothing to show |
So I left behind everything that I’ve known |
In the hope that my family won’t need to go hungry again |
The stopped me the last time I tried this migration |
I’m the overflow man in this melting pot nation |
But the only thing here in this desert is a northerly wind |
I’m not really sure where the oxygen’s going |
But it followed me all the way here |
The line on the map didn’t stop it from blowing |
It’s free, and that one thing is clear |
I don’t want to go but my duty is stronger than fear |
And the sun, it doesn’t care |
If it’s here, or if it’s over there |
It just passes through the stratosphere |
Until it goes away |
I once watched a sparrow fly south for the winter |
Her feathers were thin, and her body was thinner |
But we had enough there to feed her until she was well |
The seasons are cycles, they go back and forth |
One day it’s south and the next it is north |
The just need a little relief till the snow starts to melt |
Today she’s returning to look for her nest |
And she’s followed me all the way here |
With nothing to hold but the meat on her breast |
And the promise of one more year |
The radio man is still playing his songs |
But the signal is not quite as clear |
I’d rather be back at the place I belong |
But my family is needing me here |
I don’t want to go but my duty is stronger than fear |
I don’t want to go but my duty is stronger than fear |
