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 through the night
It took a day to build the city
We walked through it's streets in the afternoon
As I returned across the fields I'd known
I recognized the walls that I'd once made
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
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
The prison has now become your home
A sentence you seem prepared to pay
It took a day to build the city
We walked through it's streets in the afternoon
As I returned across the lands I'd known
I recognized the fields where
I'd once played
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
