___________________________(2) the sun, ....... the sun
Took some ___________________________(3) and built a wall
And called it love, called it love
Somewhere in all the ___________________________(4)
The ___________________________(5) faded out

Oh, I wonder when did it all ___________________________(6) making ___________________________(7) ?
I don't understand
I remember, we were so ___________________________(8) ,so ___________________________(9)
Oh, but that was ___________________________(10)
Can we ever go back ___________________________(11) ?

So ___________________________(14) don't you show, don't try to tell

Pin it down
But you can't

Oh, I wonder…
