Sting - Fortress Around Your Heart Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Under the ruins of a walled city
  • Crumbling towers and 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 Id known
  • I recognized the walls that I once made
  • I had to stop in my tracks for fear
  • Of walking on the mines Id laid
  • And if I 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 Id invented inside my head
  • Away so long for years and years
  • You probably thought or even wished that I was dead
  • While the armies are all sleeping
  • Beneath the tattered flag wed made
  • I had to stop in my track for fear
  • Of walking on the mines Id laid
  • And if I 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
  • 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 fields where Id once played
  • I had to stop in my tracks for fear
  • Of walking on the mines Id laid
  • And if I 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
