Borderline
--words and music by Michael Stanley

from "Eighteen Down", 2000, Razor & Tie Entertainment



Another song for the senorita
Another prayer for the man in the mirror
One more watered-down margarita
Just another night around here...

		And all the ghosts of midnight
		Are starting to arrive
		Me I'm going down to the water
		Find some forgiveness
		Down on the borderline...

She said the blues ain't nothing you're born with...
She said the blues ain't nothing you learn
But you know the blues got a way about 'em
And they're gonna tell you when it's your turn...

		And all the ghosts of midnight
		Are starting to arrive
		Me I'm going down to the water
		Find some forgiveness
		Down on the borderline...

All those memories that haunt you
They won't fade away like the light
So I'm sittin' here wondering
Wondering what you're doing tonight...

		And all the ghosts of midnight
		Are starting to arrive
		Me I'm going down to the water
		Find some forgiveness
		Down on the borderline...

		Cause all the ghosts of midnight
		Are starting to arrive
		Me I'm going down to the water
		Find some forgiveness
		Down on the borderline...
		Down on the borderline...
		Goin' down on the borderline...
