Border Song Lyrics

Border Song

Music by Elton John . lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Album Elton John 1970

Holy Moses, I have been removed,
I have seen the spectre, he has been here too,
Distant cousin from down the line
Brand of people who ain't my kind
Holy Moses, I have been removed.


Holy Moses I have been deceived,
Now the wind has changed direction and I'll have to leave
Won't you please excuse my frankness but it's not my cup of tea
Holy Moses, I have been deceived.

I'm going back to the border
Where my affairs, my affairs ain't abused
I can't take any more bad water
I've been poisoned from my head down to my shoes.

Holy Moses I have been deceived.

Holy Moses let us live in peace
Let us strive to find a way to make all hatred cease
There's a man over there, what's his colour I don't care
He's my brother let us live in peace
He's my brother let us live in peace
He's my brother let us live in peace
