Standing out here on a freezing dock
Watching the rain roll cross the state
On a lone shot through the border where I plan to stay

With all this legislating
These Americans have done
Means that I'll be disobeying just in trying to come

I'll meet you across the river
I'll meet you where you stand
And when you try to kiss me I'll pretend
The getting through was easy
The getting through was free
But I don't care what the price is long as you lie next to me

With your heart next to mine
There's nothing I won't leave behind

No language can sum it
Shave the miles between
Kilometres of nothing, hills of rolling green

I dream within a past life of
A lonely LA evening
I let the feelings hold me back one's I grew tired of concealing

I'll meet you across the river
I'll meet you where you stand
And when you try to kiss me I'll pretend
The getting through was easy
The getting through was free
But I don't care what the price is long as you lie next to me

With your heart next to mine
There's nothing I won't leave behind
Whether near or far away
Or a gentle California rain"
