sting - fortress around your heart (25 years) lyrics

under the ruins of a walled city crumbling towers and 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 i’d known i recognized the walls that i’d once made i had to stop in my tracks for fear of walking on the mines i’d laid

and if i 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 i’d invented inside my head away so long for years and years
you probably thought or even wished that i was dead
while the armies are all sleeping, beneath the tattered flag we’d made, i had to stop in my tracks for fear of walking on the mines i’d laid

and if i 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

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 i’d known i recognized the fields where i’d once played i had to stop in my tracks for fear of walking on the mines i’d laid

and if i 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
