Mother doesn't know where love has gone |
|
She says it must be youth that keeps us feeling strong |
|
I see it in her face that's turned to ice |
|
And when she smiles she shows the lines of sacrifice |
|
And now I know what they're saying |
|
As our sun begins to fade |
|
And we made our love on wasteland |
|
And through the barricades |
|
Father made my history |
|
He fought for what he thought would set us somehow free |
|
He taught me what to say in school |
|
I learned it off by heart but now that's torn in two |
|
And now I know what they're saying |
|
In the music of the parade |
|
And we made our love on wasteland |
|
And through the barricades |
|
Born on different sides of life |
|
But we feel the same and feel all of this strife |
|
So come to me when I'm asleep |
|
And we'll cross the line and dance upon the streets |
|
And now I know what they're saying |
|
As the drums begin to fade |
|
And we made our love on wasteland |
|
And through the barricades |
|
Oh, turn around and I'll be there |
|
Well there's a scar right through my heart but I'll bare it again |
|
Oh, I thought we were the human race |
|
But we were just another borderline case |
|
And the stars reach down and tell us |
|
That there's always one escape |
|
Oh, I don't know where love has gone |
|
And in this troubled land desperation keeps us strong |
|
Friday's child is full of soul |
|
With nothing left to lose, there's everything to go |
|
And now I know what they're saying |
|
It's a terrible beauty we've made |
|
So we make our love on wasteland |
|
And through the barricades |
|
And now I know what they're saying |
|
As our hearts go to their graves |
|
And we made our love on wasteland |
|
And through the barricades |
