Iron Curtains

The Iron Curtain She wears a dress of sweetest pink Planting diamonds dime a dozen Atop her rooftop garden Leaving pails of gold redundant If she'd had any In the dark, now on her bed Nothing to do but wail and cry Nothing but to wait to die Thinking of the better times If she'd had any She sits, she sits, behind the walls And iron curtains, iron doors Behind, the dreams she keeps from me The thoughts and smiles I long to see The stars, the stars that form in eyes Tentative to be despised But refrain? Then you'll receive In the Lord's eyes, victory. O'er men that claim to be. She sits, she sits, behind the walls And iron curtains, iron doors Behind, the dreams she keeps from me The thoughts and smiles I long to see In her heart, only fear In her mind, only white In her soul, only beauty That we'd seen in a long- forgotten dream She sits, she sits, behind the walls And iron curtains, iron doors Behind, the dreams she keeps from me The thoughts and smiles I long to see The love and soul I wait to see
