《Fortress Around Your Heart》歌词

[00:00:01] Fortress Around Your Heart - Sting

[00:00:19] Under the ruins of a walled city

[00:00:23] Crumbling towers and beams of yellow light

[00:00:27] No flags of truce no cries of pity

[00:00:30] The siege guns had been pounding

[00:00:32] All through the night

[00:00:35] It took a day to build the city

[00:00:38] We walked through its streets in the afternoon

[00:00:43] As I returned across the fields I'd known

[00:00:46] I recognized the walls that I once made

[00:00:51] I had to stop in my tracks for fear

[00:00:54] Of walking on the mines I'd laid

[00:00:58] And if I built this fortress around your heart

[00:01:06] Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire

[00:01:14] Then let me build a bridge

[00:01:18] For I cannot fill the chasm

[00:01:22] And let me set the battlements on fire

[00:01:35] Then I went off to fight some battle

[00:01:38] That I'd invented inside my head

[00:01:42] Away so long for years and years

[00:01:46] You probably thought or even

[00:01:48] Wished that I was dead

[00:01:50] While the armies are all sleeping

[00:01:54] Beneath the tattered flag wed made

[00:01:58] I had to stop in my track for fear

[00:02:02] Of walking on the mines I'd laid

[00:02:05] And if I built this fortress around your heart

[00:02:14] Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire

[00:02:22] Then let me build a bridge

[00:02:25] For I cannot fill the chasm

[00:02:30] And let me set the battlements on fire

[00:02:50] This prison has now become your home

[00:02:54] A sentence you seem prepared to pay

[00:02:58] It took a day to build the city

[00:03:02] We walked through its streets in the afternoon

[00:03:06] As I returned across the lands I'd known

[00:03:10] I recognized the fields where I'd once played

[00:03:14] I had to stop in my tracks for fear

[00:03:18] Of walking on the mines I'd laid

[00:03:21] And if I built this fortress around your heart

[00:03:30] Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire

[00:03:38] Then let me build a bridge

[00:03:41] For I cannot fill the chasm

[00:03:46] And let me set the battlements on fire
