There was a time
Things felt so right
You were my sunshine through the day
I your moonlight at night
Long walks – Long talks
Quite moments in our arms
Slowly though the ships have sailed
Distant ports – quite storm rages on
So I’ve been thinking
Where we go from here
Through the fear – through the blame
Do we lose everything we share
As for me – I see
The path is finally clear
Why should that be destined fate
For hurt to be the cross we bear
So I don’t want to wait
Until the Walls fall down
Save what we can – take a last stand
Why pretend to hold on
No I don’t want to wait
’till the Walls fall down
Baby we tried – I know we tried
and I can’t hold on
(Break)
I don’t want to wait
Until the Walls fall down
Save what we can – take a last stand
Why pretend to hold on
No I don’t want to wait
’till the Walls fall down
Baby we tried – I know we tried
and I can’t hold on
Save what we can – take a last stand
Why pretend to hold on
Baby we tried – I know we tried
and I can’t hold on
Baby we tried – I know we tried
and I can’t hold on
