In the courtyard, birds singing

Through the window, bells ringing

Oh so tall and wide, these confining walls

I look upon the world below



Sorrow seals our lips tightly

Horror stalks our sleep nightly

But my heart escapes from this attic room

I'm running freely though the town



I remember, remember you

I remember, still close to you

No need to fear the distance here



Peace is shattered by oppression

Tainted oil meets rejection

Yes and just in case I should soon return

My secret letters I will leave



I remember, remember you

I remember, still close to you

No need to fear the distance here



Boarding the train I take in one last look

I'll keep these memories with me forever



I remember, remember you

I remember, still close to you

No need to fear the distance here



I remember, remember you

I remember, still close to you

No need to fear the distance here
