Mary Black - No Frontiers

the collection live 1992 No Frontiers (Jimmy McCarthy) If life is a river and your heart is a boat And just like a water baby, baby born to float And if life is a wild wind that blows way on high Then your heart is Amelia dying to fly Heaven knows no frontiers And I’ve seen heaven in your eyes And if life is a bar room in which we must wait ’Round the man with his fingers on the ivory gates Where we sing until dawn of our fears and our fates And we stack all the deadmen in self addressed crates In your eyes faint as the singing of a lark That somehow this black night Feels warmer for the spark Warmer for the spark To hold us ’til the day When fear will lose its grip And heaven has its way Heaven knows no frontiers And I’ve seen heaven in your eyes If your life is a rough bed of brambles and nails And your spirit’s a slave to man’s whips and man’s jails Where you thirst and you hunger for justice and right Then your heart is a pure flame of man’s constant night In your eyes
