Fortress Around Your Heart |
Under the ruins of a walled city |
Crumbling towers in beams of yellow light |
No flags of truce, no cries of pity |
The siege guns had been pounding all through the night |
It took a day to build the city |
We walked through its streets in the afternoon |
As I returned across the fields I’d known |
I recognized the walls that I once laid |
I had to stop in my tracks for fear |
Of walking on the mines I’d laid |
And if I have built this fortress around your heart |
Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire |
Then let me build a bridge |
For I cannot fill the chasm |
And let me set the battlements on fire |
Then I went off to fight some battle |
That I’d invented inside my head |
Away so long for years and years |
You probably thought or even wished that I was dead |
While the armies all are sleeping |
Beneath the tattered flag we’d made |
I had to stop in my tracks for fear |
Of walking on the mines I’d laid |
This prison has now become your home |
A sentence you seem prepared to pay |
It took a day to build the city |
We walked through its streets in the afternoon |
As I returned across the lands I’d known |
I recognized the fields where I’d once played |
I had to stop in my tracks for fear |
Of walking on the mines I’d laid |
