Track #10 from Springsteen’s 1995 album The Ghost of Tom Joad.

[Verse 4]

Roll down into cool, clear waters
And in your arms 'neath open skies, I'll kiss the sorrow from your eyes
There across the border
[Bridge]
Tonight we'll sing the songs and I'll dream of you, my corazón
And tomorrow my heart will be strong

[Verse 5]
For what are we without hope in our hearts
That someday we'll drink from God's blessed waters?
And eat the fruit from the vine, I know love and fortune will be mine
Somewhere across the border
