Walking Through The Ruins

(album: Waiata (aka Corroboree) - 1981)

Walking through the ruins
Ever since my girl smashed it down
Yeah I'm walking through the ruins
Well I don't know what I'm doing
I'm just walking through the ruins of love

My will is broken
There's no escaping
I'm dragging my feet through the dust and rubble of our love
We build cathedrals to ransack and pillage
Religiously smashing them all down

I'm walking through the ruins
Ever since my girl smashed it down
Yeah I'm walking through the ruins
Well I don't know what I'm doing
I'm just walking through the ruins of love

Sunlight is streaming through columns and pillars
Come out in the open, the walls have fallen down
Snap of her fingers, crack goes the ceiling
I'm feeling broken inside

I'm walking through the ruins
Ever since my girl smashed it down
Yeah I'm walking through the ruins
Well I don't know what I'm doing
I'm just walking through the ruins of love
