Lyrics for 'Fortress Around Your Heart' by 'Sting'
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 Field's I'd Known
I Recognized The Walls That I Once Made
I Had To Stop In My Tracks For Fear
Of Walking On The Mines I'd 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 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 Are All Sleeping
Beneath The Tattered Flag We'd Made
I Had To Stop In My Track For Fear
Of Walking On The Mines I'd 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 I'd Once Played
I Had To Stop In My Tracks For Fear
Of Walking On The Mines I'd 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
