歌曲名 Fortress Around Your Heart

歌手名 Sting

作词：Sting

作曲：Sting

Under the ruins of a walled city

Crumbling towers in beams of yellow light

No flags of truce

no cries of pity

The siege guns had been

pounding through the night

It took a day to build the city

We walked through it's streets in the afternoon

As I returned across the fields I'd known

I recognized the walls that I'd once made

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

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

The prison has now become your home

A sentence you seem prepared to pay

It took a day to build the city

We walked through it's streets in the afternoon

As I returned across the lands I'd known

I recognized the fields where

I'd once played

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
