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
