BORDERS AND TIME (Jimmy Rankin (m & l) ) As sung by the Rankin Family 1993 < North Country > I think of you all the time I'll pay for my sins The heartache begins. I can't free you from my mind It seems so these days I've tried every way. You have drifted so far from me The winds of change Have swept you away. Oh, night and day It seems like eternity Borders and time, have kept you from me. Blue are the ocean waters Along a lover's shoreline You will not be forgotten But now that you've gone The heartache lives on. A warm breeze blows over a gentle sea The summer is near The heartache is here. The fiddler plays an old time melody The tune is the same Change the faces and names. Blue are the ocean waters Along a lovers' shoreline You will not be forgotten But now that you've gone The heartache lives on. Blue are the ocean waters Along a lover's shoreline You will not be forgotten But now that you've gone The heartache lives on. Oh, borders and time The heartache is mine. NOTES: The Rankin Family are a Canadian musical family group. They hail from Mabou, province of Nova Scotia (the same province as Rita MacNeil (see elsewhere in this ILP database for her work). The original group of five were made up from twelve siblings, all of whom were musically talented. The first group started singing in 1970. They performed Celtic music as well as jigs and reels. They won a number of Canadian music awards. Sadly, many of the members from the original group, passed relatively early in life. (Transcribed by David Story - January 2014)
