THE WALL CAME TUMBLING DOWN

REGISTERED WITH PRS/MCPS AWAITING TUNE CODE

 

Recorded on LLG’s “River Run” LP

 

Walking into paths of freedom

With no big brother watching

Why did it take so very long

For the wall to come tumbling down

 

How could it last such a long time, too many dues to be paid

How could it last such a long time, too many years have gone by

(repeat)

 

Why did we still turn a blind eye

As the wall grew higher and higher

No one stopped the power growing

As a land became a prison camp

Was it fear of consequences

Or that we simply did not care

 

How could this ever happen. ,

With the whole world looking on

 

How could it last such a long time, too many dues to be paid

How could it last such a long time, too many years to wait

 (repeat)

 

How many people buried sons

Before the wall came tumbling down?

Who'll pay the price of freedom?

Can it ever be a united kingdom again?

Will there be a new vision?

A future without a prison

Why did it take so very long?

For the wall to come tumbling down?

 

How could it last such a long time, too many dues to be paid

How could it last such a long time, too many years to wait 

(repeat)
