SLIP ACROSS THE BORDER

(Copyright © 2007 Ben Greene)

A shadow’s on the hillside
Sun’s tangled in the trees
Clouds have all been scattered
The scent of salt is in the breeze
If you’ve been hesitating
The time is ripe for you
To make your move
You can slip across the border into love

Somebody’s put the word out
Surely that was all it took
Now you can weigh your options
You can play it by the book
But I’m holding out a promise
There’s nothing that you have to prove
To make your move
Why not slip across the border into love

The guards have let their guard down
Aren’t you tired of all the runaround
The dark’s about to come down
Come on down . . .

I know you’d like the view here
I think you’d like the change of pace
You won’t miss what you’ve been having
When you’ve had a little taste
As soon as you can come in
Come in and warm up by the stove
And I’ll make my move
We can slip across the border into love
