LYRICS:
Well the sun goes down on this tenement town
Darkness on the face of the deep
Shadows crawl to the water’s edge
Down where the willows weep
You’ve been too long in exile
Too far from the things that you love
Too long in the house of bondage
That you had to learn to rise above
They say that you were lost and found
In a land that was black and white
And you railed against the order
Of the dark oncoming night
Nothing escaped your camera eye
That took everything it saw
And held it up as evidence
In a world so cold and raw
Out on the border
Spirits on the water
Dancing with your soul tonight
Talking with the angels
Moving deep and graceful
Shining with a brilliant light
Ain’t nobody here can tell you what is wrong or what is right
In a land beyond black and white
You feel so down and homesick
But they won’t let you return
And you carry round the anger
With a slow and hungry burn
Out on the border
Spirits on the water
Dancing with your soul tonight
Talking with the angels
Moving deep and graceful
Shining with a brilliant light
Ain’t nobody here can tell you what is wrong or what is right
In a land beyond black and white
They put you in a shiny box
And then they try to lock you away
For doing nothing more than telling the truth
And painting the black with grey
You stare out of the window
But you say it can’t be framed
You capture so much more than
Anything that can be named
Out on the border
Spirits on the water
Dancing with your soul tonight
Talking with the angels
Moving deep and graceful
Shining with a brilliant light
Ain’t nobody here can tell you what is wrong or what is right
In a land beyond black and white
