Lyrics for Fortress Around Your Heart (Sting)

Under the ruins of a walled cityCrumbling towers and beams of yellow lightNo flags of truce, no cries of pityThe siege guns had been pounding all through the nightIt took a day to build the cityWe walked through its streets in the afternoonAs I returned across the field's I'd knownI recognized the walls that I once 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 bridgeFor 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 the tattered flag we'd madeI had to stop in my track 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 bridgeFor I cannot fill the chasmAnd let me set the battlements on fireThis 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 fields where I'd 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 bridgeFor I cannot fill the chasmAnd let me set the battlements on fire
