Tumbling Down Lyrics

Midge Ure Tumbling Down

Hands touching hands Through a curtain that no longer stands Sister and brother embracing each other It's tumbling down

Light from both sides Is changing political tides It's turning from clashes to keepsakes and ashes It's tumbling down

Watch as we waltz in the sand On this no-mans land See our world turn around Watch it come tumbling down

And through it all The watchtowers and garrisons fall Machine guns and fire The tanks and barbed wire Come tumbling down

And in the end Watch as we spend Our moments together While notions forever Come tumbling down

Watch as we waltz in the sand On this no-mans land See our world turn around Watch it come tumbling down

Machine guns and fire This concrete messiah Comes tumbling down
