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 it's 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
