Verse 1: C On the day the wall came down C They threw the locks onto the ground Ab G And with glasses high we raised a cry for freedom had arrived C On the day the wall came down C The Ship of Fools had finally run aground
Ab G Promises lit up the night like paper doves in flight Chorus 1: F I dreamed you had left my side F C F C No warmth, not even pride remained F And even though you needed me F C F It was clear that I could not do a thing for you Verse 2: C Now life devalues day by day C As friends and neighbors turn away Ab G And there’s a change that, even with regret, cannot be undone C Now frontiers shift like desert sands C While nations wash their bloodied hands Ab G Of loyalty, of history, in shades of grey Chorus 2: F I woke to the sound of drums F C F C The music played, the morning sun streamed in F I turned and I looked at you F C And all but the bitter residues slipped away... G Slipped away Outro: F F C x6
