Karaoke Track: Fortress Around My Heart by Sting (Pocket Songs) - Karaoke Nerds

Fortress,
Around Your Heart

Words and Munc by Stag

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

I recognized the
Walls that I

Once made

Had to stop
In my tracks

For fear of walking
0n the mines
I'd laid

And if I've built this
Fortress

Around your heart

Encircles you
In trenches and

Barbed wire

Then let me build
A bridge

For I cannot
Fill the chasm

Andletme
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
All are sleeping

Beneath the tattered
Flag we'd made

I had to stop
My tracks

For fear of walking
0n the mines
I'd laid

And if I've built this
Fortress

Around your heart

Encircles you
In trenches and

Barbed wire

Then let me build
A bridge

For I cannot
Fill the chasm

Andletme
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
It's streets

In the afternoon

As I returned across
The lands I'd known

I recognized
The fields, where I
Once played

I had to stop
In my tracks for

Fear of walking on
The mines I'd laid

And if I've built this
Fortress

Around your heart

Encircles you
In trenches and

Barbed wire

Then let me build
A bridge

For I cannot
Fill the chasm

Andletme
Set the battlements

On fire...
