- Sting fortress around your heart 歌詞
- Sting
- 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 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 laid
I had to stop in my tracks for fear
Of walking on the mines Id laid
And if I have 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 all are sleeping
Beneath the tattered flag wed made
I had to stop in my tracks for fear
Of walking on the mines Id laid
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 lands Id known
I recognized the fields where Id once played
I had to stop in my tracks for fear
Of walking on the mines Id laid
