The fishing boats go out across the evening water Smuggling guns and arms across the Spanish border The wind whips up the waves so loud, the ghost moon sails among the clouds Turns the rifles into silver on the border On my wall the colours of the maps are running From Africa the winds they talk of changes coming The torches flare up in the night, the hand that sets the farms alight Has spread the word to those who’re waiting on the border ---
