Sting - Fortress Around Your Heart(281 visits)

Crumbling towers and beams of yellow light
No flags of truth, no cries of pity
The siege guns have been pounding through the night
It took a day to build the city
We walk through its streets in the afternoon
As I returned across the fields I had known
I recognized the walls that I once laid
Had to stop in my tracks for fear
Of walking on the mines I laid
Chorus: And if I built this fortress
Around your heart
It circles you in trenches and barbed wire
And let me build a bridge
For I cannot fill the chasm
And let me set the battlements on high
Then I went off to fight some battle
That I had invented inside my head
It lasted on for years and years
You probably thought and even wished that I was dead
While the armies all are sleeping
Beneath the tattered flag we made
I had to stop in my tracks for fear
Of walking on the mines I laid
Chorus
The prison has now become your home
A sentence you seem prepared to face
It took a day to build the city
We walk through its streets in the afternoon
As I returned across the fields I had known
I recognized the walls that I once laid
Had to stop in my tracks for fear
Of walking on the mines I laid
Chorus
