Fences

In the heat of the battle

He who hesitates is lost

Every word is here on my tongue but

Won't come out at any cost

Oh they're aching

Yarning

These fences we invent with what we say

These fences are growing taller every day

These delicate fences

On my mind

And in my way

Waiting for the dust to settle

I'm waiting for another go

Is it time

I realise now

Forgiving me is not what you want

Oh they're tossing

Turning

These fences we invent with what we say

These fences are growing taller every day

These delicate fences

On my mind

And in my way

In the heat of the battle
