[Verse 1]

On the day the wall came down

They threw the locks onto the ground

Ab G

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

On the day the wall came down

The Ship of Fools had finally run aground

Ab G

Promises lit up the night like paper doves in flight

[Chorus 1]

I dreamed you had left my side

F C F C

No warmth, not even pride remained

And even though you needed me

F C G

It was clear that I could not do a thing for you

[Verse 2]

Now life devalues day by day

As friends and neighbors turn away

Ab G

And there’s a change that, even with regret, cannot be undone

Now frontiers shift like desert sands

While nations wash their bloodied hands

Ab G

Of loyalty, of history, in shades of grey

[Chorus 2]

I woke to the sound of drums

F C F C

The music played, the morning sun streamed in

I turned and I looked at you

F C

And all but the bitter residues slipped away...

Slipped away
