Break Down the Fences Lyrics by Annette Ducharme

Sanctuary

1994

Love is in a state of war; On the attack
No sign of roses; When it's all turning black
Said in my condition I'm-a-wanting you
Won't you reconsider, is it worth it when we both will lose
It's time to break down the fences
Tear down the walls; Kick those defenses
I want to make love to you a-all night long
I'm no politician; I'm just trying to tell you the truth
And I'm no physician, but I know that love is the cure
Do you get the picture? A tattered photograph
My heartbeat is getting weak
And the parlor clock is-a-moving back
It's time to break down the fences; Tear down the walls
Kick those defenses; Can't make love through these walls
Break down the fences; Tear down the walls
Kick those defenses; I want to make love to you
A-all night long, A-all night long
Tired and wounded from the battle scars
So I called on my physician
Said what you need's a little sympathy
Go and see the love magician
Said make amends and let the battle end
You don't need this competition
Taking down the fences, making love
Would improve this condition
White flag is flying high; Black is turning blue
Won't you please lay down your arms
Cause I'm tired of waiting, waiting for you
It's time to break down the fences; Tear down the walls
Kick those defenses; Can't make love through these walls
Break down the fences; Tear down the walls
Kick those defenses; I want to make love to you
A-all night long, A-all night long
Fighting's left me with these battle scars
Can't you see my condition
Thought it was a fight and not a catalyst for a cataclysm
Hear the roar and beating of the drums; Spilling out my contrition
Let's make amends and let the battle end; Don't need this competition
Tired and wounded from the battle scars; So I called on my physician
Said what you need's a little sympathy; Go and see the love magician
He said make amends and let the battle end
You don't need this competition; Taking down the fence and
Making love would improve this condition
