You closed the gates to the outside town
Locked the shutters and pulled them down
No more room for the passing crowd But you kept my name
aloud
They all said your heart had turned to stone
That you preferred to walk alone
But I knew the truth (I knew the truth)
You stopped loving the world outside
Let the rivers run cold and dry
But you never stopped loving me
No, you never stopped loving me
Friends departed, the letters ceased
You made your pact with a quiet peace
Cold to the faces you used to know But you held my
hand in the snow
You stopped loving the world outside
Let the rivers run cold and dry
But you never stopped loving me
No, you never stopped loving me
Never stopped
(never stopped) No, you never stopped
