Cm
On the day the wall came down

     Cm
They threw the locks onto the ground

         Ab                               G
And with glasses high we raised a cry for freedom had arrived

Cm
On the day the wall came down

    Cm
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                G
It was clear that I could not do a thing for you
[Verse 2]
    Cm
Now life devalues day by day

   Cm
As friends and neighbors turn away

              Ab                             G
And there's a change that, even with regret, cannot be undone

    Cm
Now frontiers shift like desert sands

      Cm
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
