Lou Rhodes - Fortress lyrics

She was alone for so long That her heart built a wall And all who tried to get in Coudln't even go near Yet deep inside that fortress Was a lost little girl Crying out to be seen And to love tenderly He had journeyed so far Noone's foul would he be And every moment he swore That his heart would stay free Yet deep inside that wanderer Was a lost little boy Crying out to be seen And to love tenderly Seems to me the child in all of us Is not so very small Longing to lie in arms of love And give our one and all And it's such a precious blessing When real love comes to call But we'd rather build a fortress Than break down all our walls She fell apart at the seams When his love came along He didn't know what to feel 'Cause he felt it so strong Seems to me the child in all of us Is not so very small Longing to lie in arms of love And give our one and all And it's such a precious blessing When real love comes to call But we'd rather build a fortress Than break down all our walls And it's such a precious blessing When real love comes to call But we'd rather build a fortress Than break down all our walls Yes we'd rather build a fortress Than break down all our walls
