Cold the heart that lingers
Hot the feet that walk
I'm just across the border but it feels like a million miles from home
Abandoning the affection for her to see them grow
I gave my heart directions but it doesn´t seem to work
And work is not around and when it does it feels like lead
Weighing down ‘til sunset no matter how bad is the wage
The sun sinks down upon my face
My ragged eyes, unwelcomed shame
Rules of immigration: Not what you are but who you know
A cry or supplication no matter how far I must go
And yet I here remained much later than I hoped
This exodus is only one of many told
The sun sinks down upon my face
My tired eyes, have seen passing days
This crooked back gives out on me
The body knows but the heart don't see
Cold the heart that lingers
Hot the feet that walk
I'm just across the border but it feels like a million miles from home
