Boundary Rider

The Go-Betweens

Compositor: G.W. McLennan

There's a boundary rider
at the five mile fence
bloodwood, bones + steers

And the sky's so deep
you can't find your sleep
keeps you walking through these tears

So you reach for things
you're never satisfied
you're running down the years

And to know yourself
is to be yourself
keeps you walking through these tears

Some days you ride it hard
to stop them getting out
then comes the day you ride
to stop them getting in

There's a boundary rider
on the five mile fence
bloodwood, bones + steers

And to know yourself
is to be yourself
keeps you walking through these tears
