Verse

(add ) (add )

On the day the wall came down, they threw the locks on to the ground

And with glasses high we raised a cry for freedom had arrived

(add )

And on the day the wall came down

(add )

The ship of fools had finally run aground

Promises lit up the night like paper doves in flight

Chorus

 I dreamed you had left my side. No warmth not even pride remained--

  And even though you needed me, it was clear that I could not

 do a thing for you

Verse

Now life devalues day by day

As friends and neighbours turn away

And there's a change that even with regret can not be undone

Now frontiers shift like desert sands,

as nations wash their bloodied hands

Of loyalty, of history, in shades of grey

Chorus

I woke to the sound of drums

The music played, the morning sun streamed in

I turned and I looked at you,

and all but the bitter residue slipped away,

slipped away
