Walking Through the Ruins Songtext
von Split Enz

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

My will is broken, there′s no escape
I′m dragging my feet through the dust and rubble of our love
We built the cathedral through rags, sack and pillow
With matches we smashed them all down

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


Sunlight was streaming through columns and pillars
But madly up in the walls they′re falling down
Snap of the fingers, crack goes the ceiling
Because we've been broken inside

I'm walking through the ruins
Ever since my girl smashed it down
Yeah, I′m walking through the ruins
Yeah, I′m walking through the ruins of love
I didn't get a chance to say it right
Yeah, I don′t know what I'm doing
I′m just walking through the ruins of love

I'm walking through the ruins
Ever since my girl smashed it down
Yeah, I′m walking through the ruins
Yeah, I know I could forget if I could only get away
Walking through the ruins every minute of the day
I don't know what I'm doing
I′m just walking through the ruins of love
