Generate meaning
1
The fishing boats go out across the evening water
2
Smuggling guns and arms across the Spanish border
3
The wind whips up the waves so loud
4
The ghost moon sails among the clouds
5
Turns the rifles into silver on the border
6
On my wall the colors of the maps are running
7
From Africa the winds that talk of changes comin'
8
Torches flare up in the night, the hand that sets the farms alight
9
To spread the word to those who're waiting on the border
10
In the village where I grew up
11
Nothing seems the same
12
But you'll never see the change from day to day
13
No one notices the customs slip away
14
Late last night the rain was knocking on my window
15
I moved across the darkened room and in the lamp glow
16
I thought I saw down in the street the spirit of the century
17
Tellin' us that we're all standing on the border
18
In the islands where I grew up
19
Nothin' seems the same
20
Oh the patterns just remain an empty shell
21
There's a strangeness in the air, you feel too well
22
The fishing boats go out across the evening water
23
Smuggling guns and arms across the Spanish border
24
The wind whips up the waves so loud
25
The ghost moon sails among the clouds
26
Turns the rifles into silver on the border
27
On the border
28
On the border
29
On the border
