over there

The Housemartins

The fence is long and high where we live.
You can't see the other side where they live.
I've spied with my little eye,
I've sighed with my little sigh
But it seems I've given all that I can give.

Chorus:
Is anyone there
Here is the fence that they built
(Over there)
Is anyone there
Here is the fence that hate built
(Over there)

This is the fence that turns one into two.
I want to break through but I'm through if I do.
I've tried with my little try,
I've cried with my little cry
But it seems that the gate holds the only clue.

Every hour I have to count to ten
And a thousand times I've thought again
But it seems I've given all that I can give.
