Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2)

Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2) Lyrics

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 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 and 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 gray



I woke to the sound of drums

The music played, the morning sun streamed in

I turned and I looked at you

And all but the bitted residue slipped away...slipped away
