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   I'm running freely though 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 fear 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 fear the distance here
