Lyrics

We spent the evening at the altar The master did not falter...
His words were deep. with meaning and in rhyme.
We gathered there in wonder We gathered back in time
the music was majestic The spirit was sublime
Chorus
We're breaking for the Border We're heading to the sun
You count your blessings carefully When you're down to your last one
You said we are all broken By the truth you've always spoken
We all cling to our own flotsam in the flood
Your soothing gravel voice Gave us a hope Gave us a choice
By your words we loved and nearly understood ...
Chorus
We're breaking for the Border We're heading to the sun
You count your blessings carefully When you're down to your last one
You left the concert early you asked in your last songs
The question is "What are you going through"?
Still in the darkest black The light seeped through the cracks
You reached for what was strong and loved and true.... loved and true
Chorus
We're breaking for the Border We're heading to the sun
You count your blessings carefully When you're down to your last one
