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
