Borderline John Miles

Goodbye ills I've got doctors' pills
To see me through the night
They're turning loose the old recluse
Who's hiding from the light

I take my sleep while young girls weep
And tell the same sad story
And those who lose must pay their dues
While heroes take the glory

I'm on the borderline
I'm on the borderline
Well, I'm on the borderline
And no one ever shed a tear
Well I'm on the borderline
I'm on the borderline
Said I'm on the borderline
Won't you try to get me out of here?

Empty blind and far behind
Are eyes that never see
And after fame forgets your name
The prisoner goes free

Too much pain to break the chain
The weak man should be stronger
But losing face is no disgrace
The way could be much longer
