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 [bad word] freely through 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 feel 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 feel the distance here
