CHORUS
They were lovers in a dangerous time [4x]

He built this wall
around himself, many years ago
to protect himself from being hurt again
But he couldn't stop his feelings last night yeah
When he saw the young lady
in the bar

Blonde hair, blue eyes
Waited till the band played
the last song
and took her home
His mother didn't like her
His father didn't like her
The only thing that kept them
going was knowing that
Love would conquer all

CHORUS

They ran away
to another country
'cause they thought things would be better for them out there
In the month of December
they got married in Chicago
And it was all the same
Everywhere they went, heads
would turn

CHORUS [till fade]
