מילים לשיר Fortress Around Your Heart – Sting

Under the ruins of a walled city
Crumbling towers in beams of yellow light
the siege guns had been pounding through the night No flags of truce, no cries of pity
It took a day to build the city
As I returned across the fields I'd known
I recognized the walls that I once made
We walked through its streets in the afternoon
Of walking on the mines I'd laid
Had to stop in my tracks for fear Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire
And if I built this fortress around your heart
Then let me build a bridge, for I cannot fill the chasm
And let me set the battlements on fire That I'd invented inside my head
Then I went off to fight some battle
Away so long for years and years
You probably thought or even wished that I was dead While the armies are all sleeping
Beneath that tattered flag we'd made
I had to stop in my tracks for fear And if I built this fortress around your heart
Of walking on the mines I'd laid
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 a sentence you seem prepared to pay
The prison has now become your home
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 once played
I had to stop in my tracks for fear And if I built this fortress around your heart
Of walking on the mines I'd laid
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.
