Victim Of Love
I don't wanna look
Like some kind of fool
I don't wanna break
My heart over you
I'm building a wall
Everyday it's getting higher
This time I won't end up
Another victim of love
You say that I could
Show some emotion
That I've been
Keeping secrets from you
But I can see through
All your sweet talk
And all of your affection untrue
I'm gonna find you out
If I scream and I shout
You won't break down my protection
I don't wanna look
Like some kind of fool
I don't wanna break
My heart over you
I'm building a wall
Everyday it's getting higher
This time I won't end up
Another victim of love
I'm gonna lock up
What I'm feeling inside
Ain't no way you can
Break down the door
Cause this time I've learned my lesson
You can take this declaration of war
Step right back
Put on your coat and your hat
Gonna avoid all complications
I don't wanna look
Like some kind of fool
I don't wanna break
My heart over you
I'm building a wall
Everyday it's getting higher
This time I won't end up
Another victim of love
Slow the years go by
They stole your man off to war
Will you see the child
As you sing battle songs
And it pains me
To think of the soldier's plight
I will pray
For your god to guide you home
And she cries for the soldier's return
Despair at feeling alone for so long
By the light of the candle that burns
For his life
For the day of the soldier's return
Hear the cannon fire
Lost voices echo in the night
See the spoils of war
Young men are falling, ooh
Hear the drummer marching over the hill
Love returning and the graves of the battle lie still
And she cries for the soldier's return
Despair at feeling alone for so long
By the light of the candle that burns
For his life
For the day of the soldier's return
Hear the drummer marching over the hill
Love returning and the graves of the battle lie still
And she cries for the soldier's return
Despair at feeling alone for so long
By the light of the candle that burns
For his life
For the day of the soldier's return
Young men are falling, young men are falling...
