Sting - Fortress Around Your Heart слова песни
Under the ruins of a walled cityCrumbling towers in beams of yellow lightNo flags of truce, no cries of pityThe siege guns had been pounding all through the nightIt took a day to build the cityWe walked through its streets in the afternoonAs I returned across the fields I`d knownI recognized the walls that I once laidI had to stop in my tracks for fearOf walking on the mines I`d laidAnd if I have built this fortress around your heartEncircled you in trenches and barbed wireThen let me build a bridgeFor I cannot fill the chasmAnd let me set the battlements on fireThen I went off to fight some battleThat I`d invented inside my headAway so long for years and yearsYou probably thought or even wished that I was deadWhile the armies all are sleepingBeneath the tattered flag we`d madeI had to stop in my tracks for fearOf walking on the mines I`d laidThis prison has now become your homeA sentence you seem prepared to payIt took a day to build the cityWe walked through its streets in the afternoonAs I returned across the lands I`d knownI recognized the fields where I`d once playedI had to stop in my tracks for fearOf walking on the mines I`d laid
