I'm standing in the station,
   I am waiting for a train,
   To take me to the border,
   And my loved one far away,
   I watched a bunch of soldiers heading for the war,
   I could hardly even bear to see them go;
  
   Rolling through the countryside,
   Tears are in my eyes,
   We're coming to the borderline,
   I'm ready with my lies,
   And in the early morning rain, I see her there,
   And I know I'll have to say goodbye again;
  
  
   And it's breaking my heart, I know what I must do,
   I hear my country call me, but I want to be with you,
   I'm taking my side, one of us will lose,
   Don't let go, I want to know,
   That you will wait for me until the day,
   There's no borderline, no borderline;
  
  
   Walking past the border guards,
   Reaching for her hand,
   Showing no emotion,
   I want to break into a run,
   But these are only boys, and I will never know,
   How men can see the wisdom in a war...
  
  
   And it's breaking my heart, I know what I must do,
   I hear my country call me, but I want to be with you,
   I'm taking my side, one of us will lose,
   Don't let go, I want to know,
   That you will wait for me until the day,
   There's no borderline, no borderline,
   No borderline, no borderline...
