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 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 madeHad to stop in my tracks for fearOf walking on the mines I'd laidAnd if I built this fortress around your heartEncircled you in trenches and barbed wireThen let me build a bridge, for 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 are all sleepingBeneath that tattered flag we'd madeI had to stop in my tracks for fearOf walking on the mines I'd laidAnd if I built this fortress around your heartEncircled you in trenches and barbed wireThen let me build a bridge, for I cannot fill the chasmAnd let me set the battlements on fireThe 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 once playedI had to stop in my tracks for fearOf walking on the mines I'd laidAnd if I built this fortress around your heartEncircled you in trenches and barbed wireThen let me build a bridge, for I cannot fill the chasmAnd let me set the battlements on fire
