	作词 : SUMNER, GORDON(STING)
	Under the ruins of a walled city
	Crumbling towers in beams of yellow light
	No flags of truce, no cries of pity
	The siege guns had been pounding all through the night
	It took a day to build the city
	We walked through its streets in the afternoon
	As I returned across the fields I'd known
	I recognized the walls that I once laid
	I had to stop in my tracks for fear
	Of walking on the mines I'd laid
	And if I have built this fortress around your heart
	Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire
	Then let me build a bridge
	For I cannot fill the chasm
	And let me set the battlements on fire
	Then I went off to fight some battle
	That I'd invented inside my head
	Away so long for years and years
	You probably thought or even wished that I was dead
	While the armies all are sleeping
	Beneath the tattered flag we'd made
	I had to stop in my tracks for fear
	Of walking on the mines I'd laid
	This prison has now become your home
	A sentence you seem prepared to pay
	It took a day to build the city
	We walked through its streets in the afternoon
	As I returned across the lands I'd known
	I recognized the fields where I'd once played
	I had to stop in my tracks for fear
	Of walking on the mines I'd laid
