Verse:
(add b5) (add b5)
On the day the wall came down, they threw the locks on to the ground
And with glasses high we raised a cry for freedom had arrived
(add b5)
And on the day the wall came down
(add b5)
The ship of fools had finally run aground
Promises lit up the night like paper doves in flight
Chorus:
I dreamed you had left my side. No warmth not even pride remained--
And even though you needed me, it was clear that I could not
do a thing for you
Verse:
(add b5)
Now life devalues day by day
(add b5)
As friends and neighbours turn away
And there's a change that even with regret can not be undone
(add b5)
Now frontiers shift like desert sands,
(add b5)
while nations wash their bloodied hands
Of loyalty, of history, in shades of grey
Chorus:
I woke to the sound of drums
The music played, the morning sun streamed in
I turned and I looked at you,
and all but the bitter residue slipped away,
slipped away
Outro Solo:
