On The Day The Wall Came Down


They Threw The Locks Onto The Ground


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


Promises Lit Up In The Night Like Paper Doves In Flight


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


Now Life Devalues Day By Day


As Friends An Neighbours Turn Away


And There´s A Change That, Even With Regret, Cannot Be Undone


Now Frontiers Shift Like Desert Sands


While Nations Wash Their Bloodied Hands


Of Loyalty, Of History, In Shades Of Grey


I Woke To Sound Of Drums


The Music Played, The Morning Sun Streamed In


I Turned And Looked At You


And All But A Bitter Reside Slipped Away.. Slipped Away
