Ruins (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

Don’t try to call
There are some bridges that burn
Beyond recognition beyond repair
Don’t say you’ve changed
There are some forces that turn
Beyond recollection beyond my stare
When I feel the cold in the dark
I know you’re there

Long ago I was a woman in pain
A woman in need
I ran to you
Long ago I did not understand
You were making me bleed
I ran to you
When I feel the cold in the dark
I know what you do

[CHORUS]

I will crawl through my past
Over stones blood and glass
In the ruins
Reaching under the fence
As I try to make sense
In the ruins

I know your heart has held its own fear
It’s perfectly clear
What they did to you
In my heart it’s the screaming I hear
I won’t let them come near
Since my love knew you
When I feel the cold in the dark
I remember you

[CHORUS]

Night after night
I am carving it out

I will carry it down to the waterside
Night after night
I am hearing the sound
Of wings that come beating
I will not hide
When I feel the cold in the dark
I will know why

[CHORUS]

But if I am to heal
I must first learn to feel
In the ruins
I will crawl

Ruins (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

It’s so quiet in the ruins walking though the old town
Stones crumbling under my feet i see smoke for miles around
Oh it’s enough to make you weep, all that remains of the main street
Up in the park on sunday, dogs chasing and the children played
Old man with his head down, can’t see nothing more around…no

But he remembers how it used to be, back in the old days,
So nice to see you coming back in this town again
It’s nice to see a friendly face come peeping through having tea
In the afternoon, so nice to see you coming back in this town again…

Ah but it’s all changed winter turned on a man
Came down on day when no-one was looking and it
Stole away the land, people running scared, losing hands
Dodging shadows of falling sand, buildings standing like empty shells
And nobody…helping no-one else
Young child with his hands high, ain’t able to see no reason why…no

But he remembers how it used to be, back in the old days,
So nice to see you coming back in this town again
It’s nice to see a friendly face come peeping through
You’d better know what you’re going through now
You came back here to find your home is a black horizon
That you don’t recognize, evil destruction has taken everything
You’d better walk on the side while you’re still walking
Just keep on walking on down the street keep your distance
From the people you meet. oh lord and you’d better watch your eyes
‘cause if smoke gets in them, baby you won’t rise again.
Where’s it leading to freedom at what cost
People needing more and more and it’s all getting lost
I want back, i want back
Back to the time when the earth was green
And there was no high walls and the sea was clean
Don’t stop that sun to shine, it’s not yours or mine…no.
