Barbara Dickson - The Day The Wall Came Tumbling Down (Demo)

(Benny Andersson/Björn Ulvaeus)

Unreleased demo version.

Why in the state we were in
Did we go to to Berlin
Well I just can't remember
We had built our invisible wall
Things were bad that fabled fall

We walked through the city that night
What a heart-warming sight
In the cold of November
People danced in the streets
And I knew I must too

The day the wall came tumbling down
I knew I loved you more than ever
My war with you, so petty now
Now that the times were changing

The world stood still
And held its breath
A world that always had said never
New lease of life is what we found
The day the wall came tumbling down

Down by the Brandenburg Gate
People cheered, it was great
I will never forget it
And your eyes as you looked at me then
Said it all
Let's try again

And grand was a glorious day
How it swept me away
And God knows that I let it
I was drunk
By the crowd I was in
In Berlin

The day the wall came tumbling down
I knew I loved you more than ever
My war with you, how petty now
Now that the times were changing

The world stood still
And held its breath
A world that always had said never
New lease of life is what we found
The day the wall came tumbling down

In honour of all the unknown victims at the Berlin Wall...
