Sting's,
"Fortress Around Your Heart"
And bit by bit this fortress
Surrounds your heart.
And if I built this fortress
Around your heart.
Sting's,
"Fortress Around Your Heart"
Organa fill the cavern
or
Let me build a bridge, or I cannot build the chasm.
or
Let me build a bridge, for I cannot fill the castle
or
And let me build a bridge, for I cannot build a castle
or
And let me build a bridge, for I cannot build a castle
And let me build a bridge, for I cannot fill the chasm

Let me set the mat on this one - ah
Then let me build a bridge,
For I cannot fill the chasm,
And let me set the battlements on fire.

Then let me build a bridge,
For I cannot fill the chasm

And let me fight the battle of the unicorns.
And let me set the battlements on fire.
Sting's,

Beneath the tattered dragon's wing
Beneath the tattered flag we've made
Sting's,
"Fortress Around Your Heart"
Encircled you with fishes in cold water
Encircled you with trenches and barbed wire
Sting's,
"Fortress Around Your Heart"
Had to stop my tracts for fear of walking on the mind's eye lane
Had to stop my tracks for fear of walking on the mines I'd laid
Sting's,
"Fortress Around Your Heart"
In circles you with treasures and barbed wire
Encircled you with trenches and barbed wire
Sting's,
"Fortress Around Your Heart"
Let me set the battle bridge on fire.
Let me set the battlements on fire.
Sting's,
"Fortress Around Your Heart"
Let me set the battle moose on fire
Let me set the battlements on fire
Sting's,
"Fortress Around Your Heart"
The war went on for years and years
They probably thought of you and wished that I was dead.
Away so long for years and years
You probably thought or even wished that I was dead.
Sting's,
"Fortress Around Your Heart"
Then let me be the Grinch
Then let me build a bridge
